No, that's isn't logical, correct statement. The correct one:

What's needed is the knowledge, that some (one) of mutlios targets is
a tty, and conveying that information upper to the multios-process, so
that it can mark (?) it's exposed to the writer (the application that
needs a terminal) pipe or FD (unsure)

Confirming test: vim | cat works without any problems, so the exposed
to the application pipe or FD doesn't have to implement a terminal.
