Congrats on Plan9 and its open source release!

I've done an asian-language input method which I'd like to port to plan9.

I need to eat keystrokes until I've got enough to form a character (or an
error), then deliver the composite character to the focused application.

I'd like to not have to compile this stuff into the applications themselves, of
course.

Q:  Is there some way I can use namespaces or something to just filter what is
read from /dev/console (not replace that service altogether,  hopefully).  So I
want to stack a "stream filter" on top of /dev/console (just for reading),  I
think.  Is there any such thing?

Thoughts? Better way?
