It can't. Windows has no terminals (as in "none at all"). It has a
Console, which is a special kind of window attached to an application
and where the unbuffered stdout and stderr are magically redirected.
A test for is stdout/err is a tty can only check if the process has
the console attached, and an attempt to open it for writing will
probably just create the thing.
