Thank author for this great repo!

I want to build a terminal AI chat CLI using Go, user experience similar to Gemini CLI, after I tried this repo, I discovered:

Border not support round border, can we support it or need some tricy? I see Gemini CLI build round border using ╭``╮``│``─, will we add this?
Could TextView add sub-TextView?
For displaying message list, I want add Label for each message, but only TextView support Label, how to add Label for each message string?
My construction is:

- app
  - Flex
    - TextView
      - Message List
    - TextArea

Does TextView support string selection?
When display message, user may want select part of message in TextView, but seems TextView doesn't support selection.

Change tview.Borders.* to your liking to change the borders for all widgets (must be done before constructing)
This is not possible. I have proposed a scrollable ListView/ScrollView primitive instead, which can contain other primitives and allows them to be selectable. Similar to List, but can contain other Primitives instead of only strings. See: https://github.com/rivo/tview/issues/1104
See how discordo wraps the "message" in a highlight group and uses region IDs to allow navigation and selection.
