|If you run it with `lynx -dump [-nolist] ...` -- the delays are avoided.

Thanks, yes, seems so. (Needs to be paged really given the often
lengthy output.)
Thanks to Nelson Beebe i discovered translate-shell, and will
henceforth use that instead, it is a specialized thing which is
pretty cool.

|PS: writing this without actually testing the consequences -- you've got

|interactive shell to exit. I think the same effect could be had by

|`exec`.
I had to look in the revision history, hmmm, it was a mindless
change in 2019 when we started looking for the lynx-redux package,
followed by yet another mindless change five weeks later to enwrap
that in a subshell, because of the exec, say. What a mess.
Fixed. Thank you. Interestingly the only function around which
is so messy even though we have monsters like
__r_d_b_x__() {
[ "${#}" -lt 2 ] && exit 64
if [ "${2}" = - ]; then
[ "${1}" != y ] && exit 64
__r__=- __d__=- __b__=-
else
__r__=$(realpath "${2}")
__d__=$(dirname "${__r__}")
__b__=$(basename "${__r__}")
fi
__x__=
if [ "${1}" = y ] && [ ${#} -gt 2 ]; then
if [ "${__r__}" != - ]; then
exec 5<&0 <"${__r__}"
__r__=-
