Here's a clue:

;;; term.el --- general command interpreter in a window stuff

;; Copyright (C) 1988-1995, 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

;; Author: Per Bothner <bothner@cygnus.com>
;; Based on comint mode written by: Olin Shivers <shivers@cs.cmu.edu>

So comint can do it, and term-mode can teach you how to tickle comint
mode into doing what you want it to do.  If you're very lucky, your
investigation of term-mode may show that this is a feature of comint
itself and you just have to enable it.
