How can I run a prompt asynchronously?

[MaddyGuthridge]

An application I am writing makes heavy use of async for parallelisation of tasks, however, in its current design, some parameters may be read from stdin while the event loop is active. Currently, it looks like I'll need to add prompt-toolkit as a dependency as it offers async support for input. However, if an extra dependency can be avoided, I'd love to use rich for my input as well as my output.

With that in mind, is there a way I can use Console.input in an async context without blocking the event loop?

You could use aioconsole, which works really well. Or Textual if you want to go full TUI.

Notably, I want to take advantage of Rich's excellent styling system. Is there a way I can integrate that with aioconsole? Textual (while very cool) is a bit overkill for my project's needs.
