OK I see what you mean. Yes this implies that we must be able to tell
the server to only return input events to the thread doing the
ReadConsole. If I get this right, it also means line editing has to be
done in ReadConsole, and that you can't see what you type when the app
is not reading. Very annoying, but I guess it's more Windows-like...
