Comment:
On Windows, this breaks any code that wants to read from `stdin` using any
libraries that use lazy `ByteString`s internally (and, obviously, anyone
who just uses its `getContents` directly).
This stymied me when I was trying to speed up [http://github.com/jaspervdj
/planet-wars-haskell some library code] for [http://ai-contest.com/ a
programming contest], since some participants (like me) would be testing
their entries on their Windows machines.
