  Log Message:
  -----------
  Generally, it's preferred that an application fork/setsid if it doesn't want
to keep its controlling TTY, but it could be that a debugger is trying to
steal it instead -- so it would hook in, drop the controlling TTY, then do
some magic to set things up again. In this case, TIOCNOTTY is quite handy
and still respected by at least OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Linux as far as I can
tell.

I've dropped the note about obsoletion, as I intend to support TIOCNOTTY as
long as it doesn't impose a major burden.
