Is this still open?

We need:

* more unified I/O
  - nonblocking flag can be set on only sockets.
  - WaitForMultipleObjects doesn't work with sockets.
  - APIs to tell how many bytes can be read immediately differ
    for ordinary file, console, socket and pipe.

* pseudo tty
  pty feature is not supported at all now.
