Terminal modes

[shazow]

There's a line here that mentions terminal modes:

ssh/ssh.go

Line 77 in e5ece14

// HELP WANTED: terminal modes!

What do we envision for "terminal modes"?

Ooh boy, this is a rabbit hole if I've ever seen one.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4254#section-8 provides more information on these.

I believe supporting these would require deeper integration with the pty, as this implements quite a few operations on the pty.

In particular, it looks like this would involve implementing a basic terminal inside this package - looks like our hacky attempt at working around this is causing issues for subsystem support in #103

Terminal stuff is nutso. Hopefully there is something implementing out there we can just use here.
