Which in the current openssh, I don't think we can force, since if it
CAN open the current tty directly via /dev/tty, it always will.  Of
course, I'm going on a few-year-old memory and a quick check of the
source, so I could be (and would love to be shown) wrong.

Well, we can't hack any random user's copy of ssh, so it's kinda moot.

Oh, I'm all about outlandishly excessive unnecessary information  8-}
