Good point: Darwin is using:
codemon...@daves-mbp ~/dotfiles> tty
/dev/ttys015
I think "ttys" may be safe to use!

So, given the ttys difference -- think we should go with an env setting, or
a quick fix that works for Darwin?
I need to get some virtual machines set up anyway, I'll try to set up a BSD
