 * Used to get a properly sanitized input in a larger box. Works very similarly to stripped_input.

 * Arguments
 ** user - Target of the input prompt.
 ** message - The text inside of the prompt.
 ** title - The window title of the prompt.
 ** max_length - If you intend to impose a length limit - default is 1024.
 ** no_trim - Prevents the input from being trimmed if you intend to parse newlines or whitespace.
