I could have sworn that ". /dev/tty" worked like that yesterday ...
someone must have hacked my system and patched the binaries over
night.
I guess you don't want to call isatty() every time one uses ".", but
I'm still not sure if this is "right." What is so special about
start-up, that one doesn't need an explicit "-i" flag? Why not check
stdin every time it gets redirected?
While I agree this last suggestion is of very limited use, and may
well be trivial, it is hardly "more" trivia -- unless you think the
error handling and the sh compatibility of your shell are trivial
issues.
Alan.
