Thus spake Geoff Wing ("GW> ") sometime Today...

Heh.  True that; however, in the past, I will note that "most shells"
will absorb the tty settings and use at least interrupt, erase, and
backspace and process them accordingly.

Editors, of course, are a different problem.

And I don't think I misunderstand stty at all.
