/// Standard text prompt that returns the user string input.
///
/// This is the standard the standard kind of prompt you would expect from a library like this one. It displays a message to the user, prompting them to type something back. The user's input is then stored in a `String` and returned to the prompt caller.
///
///
/// ## Configuration options
///
/// - **Prompt message**: Main message when prompting the user for input, `"What is your name?"` in the example below.
/// - **Help message**: Message displayed at the line below the prompt.
/// - **Default value**: Default value returned when the user submits an empty response.
/// - **Initial value**: Initial value of the prompt's text input, in case you want to display the prompt with something already filled in.
/// - **Placeholder**: Short hint that describes the expected value of the input.
/// - **Validators**: Custom validators to the user's input, displaying an error message if the input does not pass the requirements.
/// - **Formatter**: Custom formatter in case you need to pre-process the user input before showing it as the final answer.
/// - **Suggester**: Custom function that returns a list of input suggestions based on the current text input. See more on "Autocomplete" below.
///
/// ## Default behaviors
///
/// Default behaviors for each one of `Text` configuration options:
///
/// - The input formatter just echoes back the given input.
/// - No validators are called, accepting any sort of input including empty ones.
/// - No default values or help messages.
/// - No autocompletion features set-up.
/// - Prompt messages are always required when instantiating via `new()`.
///
/// ## Autocomplete
///
/// With `Text` inputs, it is also possible to set-up an autocompletion system to provide a better UX when necessary.
///
/// You can call `with_autocomplete()` and provide a value that implements the `Autocomplete` trait. The `Autocomplete` trait has two provided methods: `get_suggestions` and `get_completion`.
///
/// - `get_suggestions` is called whenever the user's text input is modified, e.g. a new letter is typed, returning a `Vec<String>`. The `Vec<String>` is the list of suggestions that the prompt displays to the user according to their text input. The user can then navigate through the list and if they submit while highlighting one of these suggestions, the suggestion is treated as the final answer.
/// - `get_completion` is called whenever the user presses the autocompletion hotkey (`tab` by default), with the current text input and the text of the currently highlighted suggestion, if any, as parameters. This method should return whether any text replacement (an autocompletion) should be made. If the prompt receives a replacement to be made, it substitutes the current text input for the string received from the `get_completion` call.
///
/// For example, in the `complex_autocompletion.rs` example file, the `FilePathCompleter` scans the file system based on the current text input, storing a list of paths that match the current text input.
///
/// Every time `get_suggestions` is called, the method returns the list of paths that match the user input. When the user presses the autocompletion hotkey, the `FilePathCompleter` checks whether there is any path selected from the list, if there is, it decides to replace the current text input for it. The interesting piece of functionality is that if there isn't a path selected from the list, the `FilePathCompleter` calculates the longest common prefix amongst all scanned paths and updates the text input to an unambiguous new value. Similar to how terminals work when traversing paths.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```no_run
/// use inquire::Text;
///
/// let name = Text::new("What is your name?").prompt();
///
/// match name {
///     Ok(name) => println!("Hello {}", name),
///     Err(_) => println!("An error happened when asking for your name, try again later."),
/// }
