Of course, this approach would mean we'd also need to make the same
changes to any interactive shells with rc files, such as zsh, ksh or
tcsh.

An alternative approach (since there are those who would miss the
feature, and wonder why it wasn't enabled), might be to have some of the
major terminal emulators display some sort of status, alerting the user
to the fact that the flow has been stopped, and to use the appropriate
key to resume processing. The disadvantage to this is that it could be
very impractical for some virtual ttys (such as the linux console), and
would not apply to people who shelled into Ubuntu using some other term
em. It's also a lot more work than fiddling with rc files. :)
