Terminal emulators are only dealing with console input/output of the
child processes, so the problems I mentioned in that issue are much
less relevant to them, AFAIU.
The point is that ConPTY is far from being a faithful emulation of
Unix PTYs; instead, it is really a kind of console device that is not
suited for dealing with anything but strictly console I/O, and
Windows-style console I/O on top of that.
