Yes, it does. If possible it should be changed, then. At least
in $POSIXLY_CORRECT / posix mode. I think the virtue would be to
be standard compliant while still being able to rock it.

My console library only supports fullscreen mode. I don't know,
for that "< template prog 2>err.log" could very well have been
a valid interactive case, too. It was an error to hard code that
dependency, i see this now. For the MUA i think i should try to
end up with a logically sensitive detection of "interactive",
possibly allowing the user to force interactivity. Unfortunately
-i is given to "ignore SIGINT", only -I could be used.

Oh, it is ok to talk about a shell. We are learning from that.

And there is a lot to learn. .. Interesting, this seems to be
a speciality of the Almquist SHell, bash and mksh simply logout
?0[sdaoden@wales sdaoden]$ echo 'echo bla'|sh -sic 'echo da'
da
Logging out ... and:
?0[sdaoden@wales sdaoden]$ sh -sic 'echo da'
da
Logging out ... and:
dash logs out only the former.
