unfortunately, i think this needs to be a little more involved.  we
need to take care of the following cases:

	- ios prompt foo[#>]
	- ios config prompt foo(config)#
	- ios truncated prompt somereallylongprompttrunc(config)#
	- catalyst prompt foo>
	- catalyst enable prompt foo (enable)>
	- catalyst - does the cat change the prompt in config mode?
	- catalyst - does the cat truncate long prompts?

i need to get my catalyst running...
