This commit explicitly handles the result of the `write` function and allows an early stop when a `ControlFlow::Break` is received. It seems that currently only writing `EscapedChar::End` will trigger a break. In all other cases, `ControlFlow::Continue` is returned.
This commit analyzes the return value of the `write` function and stops the echo when a break is received. It allows: - simplifying the function's logic. Now, we don't rely on the item type and only analyze the return value. - avoiding compiler warnings about the unused `ControlFlow` result (nightly only). Since a break can only be triggered by `EscapedChar::End`, the old and new versions should be equivalent.

@tertsdiepraam Thanks. I’ve added a test for the Ctrl-C sequence |

About
Issue 7736
Hello Everyone,
This PR introduces analysis of returned
ControlFlowvalues, helping to eliminate compiler warnings about unused return values on nightly toolchains. It also adds the ability to exit early when encounteringEscapedCharacter::End, which seems like the correct behavior in that case. [1]While working on this, I noticed that the
printfutility already relies onControlFlowresults. So this change also helps unify the approaches and code betweenprintfandecho.Please note: these are initial changes, intended for review, discussion, and testing on real examples. Any feedback or observations are highly appreciated.
Thank you
