Consoles are a special subclass of standard IO.
On Windows you want to use the UTF-16 instead of UTF-8/ANSI functions to read
and write to it. This circumvents the need for setting code pages which don't
always work and have to be reset when the program has been completed. It would
also be ideal to have timeout support for reading.
It should not throw exceptions if a console has not been attached. Instead,
completion with no failure would be more desirable in the cases such as in a
GUI program.
