That's just an illustration. I know my audiences who will give us real
tested patches are intelligent ;-).

And I tend to agree that at the test-lib.sh level might be a bit too low
for convenience of debugging, but it is probably a good start. An obvious
alternative would be a patch similar to the illustration patch applied to
t/Makefile.

As I said in a separate post, I think this is orthogonal to the
test-terminal patch under discussion. Being able to give the tested
programs an environment that mimics an interactive tty session better is a
good thing to do regardless of the "test should not read from make's stdin"
issue.
