It is certainly somewhat obscure since not even William knew about it.
The more efficient interface is certainly the library interface, but I
am not sure how well that one copes with multiple instances running at
the same time.
It is also often much easier to extend a tty interface, but I am not
sure this applies here.
One thing about this library interface is that it works well as an
example since it is simple and maybe two screens of code.
