I did spend some time looking at slang stuff - decided I would rather
look at Erics kbd_unicode stuff :-)
Seriously - in Eric's code, he has X, raw, slang and none keyboard modes.
It seems to me that slang isn't the right place to add stdin support -
wouldn't it be better to add a 5th keyboard mode "piped" or "stdin" ?
