I think 1 and 2 should be swapped.

Occasionally, I have been found trying to do some very unnatural things
with sub-processes (cvs in particular) and it's VERY frustrating when a
a heuristic cannot be overridden. If I recall correctly, the specific
problem I had was precisely that, cvs would only give the output I
wanted if in a TTY, but Python gives no portable way to spawn a process
in a TTY.
