   Potential issues so far:

   • can't set which stdin to use for cbreak (this is probably fine)
   • find out if Blessed does the VDSUSP trick on Macs/BSD (find issue for this, it's been talked about before)
   • find out behavior of inkey if SIGTSTP via dsusp happens (preventable, just turn of dsusp)
   • How to block on stdin and other file descriptors simultaneously (we still have access to sys.stdin)
   • blocked on resolution of Support comparators for matching keyboard input to meta and ctrl keys jquast/blessed#58 which I assume will start grouping escape-prepended keys instead of reporting them separately

   Plan: move paste detection into bpython, based on nonblocking readaheads instead of number of raw bytes read

   blessed now supports ctrl, meta, etc., and the kitty keyboard protocol, mouse, bracketed paste

   Use is_sequence to detect special keys

   Use name to identify special keys by name (e.g., KEY_F1, KEY_CTRL_Q)

   Or, by using magic methods like keystroke.is_f1() or keystroke.is_key_ctrl('q').
