There's probably a good argument to be made in favor of some other
formatting style; you just need to make it.

I felt similar regarding the commentation at first, but then I read
through DVTM & found that what st was doing was self evident.

If you really wanted to dab on st, you could have just
- removed the `-l` argument
- simplified ttywriteraw
- suggested that st shouldn't be scheduling for modem lines
- offer minicom as an alternative for those lead astray

But clearly you're too retarded to make a decent critisism like that. ;)
