Those things won't wash in the console. Console is ASCII. In ASCII
alt(meta) and control characters only exist in one case, so they can't
be shifted. This is all very annoying unless you have a real ASCII
serial terminal (like me) connected to your computer. But nobody ever
bothered to do anything about this (probably for backwards compatibilities sake).
