Mulling it over, since read -q has a single clear historical meaning
that gets a bit obscured when locales come into it, I think this might
better be done by a tailorable function using read -k, as indeed the
Linux manual page suggests. We could host a sample function (using =~,
probably) if somebody wanted to write one.
