-The writer will always write to the last line and shift lines up when a line is full (or on `\n`). The `column_position` field keeps track of the current position in the last row. The current foreground and background colors are specified by `color_code` and a pointer to the VGA buffer is stored in `buffer`. To make it possible to create a `static` Writer later, the `buffer` field stores an `Unique<Buffer>` instead of a plain `*mut Buffer`. [Unique] is a wrapper that implements Send/Sync and is thus usable as a `static`. Since it's unstable, you may need to add the `unique` feature to `lib.rs`.
