That's correct.  But I don't think we can switch stdout to raw mode at
will, since it has other effects: TABs are displayed as those funny
IBM graphics characters instead of being expanded into spaces, Ctrl-S
doesn't stop the scrolling, etc.  So if an application didn't request
it, the library should do this on its own, I think.
