Maybe if it weren't for the above ranting, POSIX wouldn't have gotten its shit together to clean up the terminal situation and come up with the <termios.h> stuff.

Today I have a way of using <termios.h> stuff to even control the Windows cmd.exe console.

It's the most portable thing there is for getting clean character-at-a-time input, with Ctrl-D and everything.
