Hmmm... Not a bad idea. I didn't intend to muck with the TTY line discipline, but this _does_ have some posibilities, such as:
* (PC) Treat the keyboard/PS2 ports as `funny' serial ports. * (Mac) ADB simply becomes a collection of serial ports
* All TTY lines can hook into an EvStack, with the input characters filtered through a (global/per-device/per-tty/whatever) translation filter (ie keymap) that outputs Unicode keypresses.
(We're using Unicode16 - if at all possible - throught the EvStack system)
