How do you avoid eating (and possibly choking on) user keystrokes
already in the input buffer? The only way I can think to avoid that is
with some sort of tricky extra buffering layer. Maybe it doesn't
matter but I find it annoying if I've typed ahead before a program
starts and some of the keystrokes get lost.
