Hi all -
  I've just been looking at the docs for cons and consolefs. I am just
**blown away** by how cleanly and elegantly keyboard input is handled in
Plan 9!  There seems to be *none* of the - um - "less than optimal", to
put it mildly - approach of Linux, with its termios and friends.
There doesn't even seem to be the need for "readline",as far as I can tell.

I assume it would be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to
implement this approach to keyboard-handling on Linux - would I be
correct in saying that? It's a pity, if that's the case.

Anyway, just a bit of praise there for the Plan 9 devs.....  :)
