I currently use ConEmu + zsh via MSYS2 as my preferred shell on Windows. I need to run many interactive programs like `python`, `node` etc. via winpty, e.g.:

``` alias node='winpty node.cmd' ```

With the new ConPTY, will I be able to run native Windows programs directly? If so, that would be huge, winpty (while I'm really thankful it exists) is a PITA in practice, see e.g. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/45693.
