+/**
+ * This is a pared down version of
+ * https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/blob/main/src/js/streams.ts
+ *
+ * It replaces the standard streams devices that Emscripten provides with our
+ * own better ones. It fixes the following deficiencies:
+ *
+ * 1. The emscripten std streams always have isatty set to true. These set
+ *    isatty to match the value for the stdin/stdout/stderr that node sees.
+ * 2. The emscripten std streams don't support the ttygetwinsize ioctl. If
+ *    isatty() returns true, then these do, and it returns the actual window
+ *    size as the OS reports it to Node.
+ * 3. The emscripten std streams introduce an extra layer of buffering which has
+ *    to be flushed with fsync().
+ * 4. The emscripten std streams are slow and complex because they go through a
+ *    character-based handler layer. This is particularly awkward because both
+ *    sides of this character based layer deal with buffers and so we need
+ *    complex adaptors, buffering, etc on both sides. Removing this
+ *    character-based middle layer makes everything better.
+ *    https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/1aa7fb531f11e11e7ae49b75a24e1a8fe6fa4a7d/src/lib/libtty.js?plain=1#L104-L114
+ *
+ * Ideally some version of this should go upstream to Emscripten since it is not
+ * in any way specific to Python. But I (Hood) haven't gotten around to it yet.
