+// Unix restores raw mode and drains the tty with non-blocking reads. Windows
+// has no tty to drain: the fix is to discard the pending console input records
+// with FlushConsoleInputBuffer before we exit.
+//
+// Note this also discards genuine type-ahead the user entered while the command
+// was running. That matches the Unix drain, and is the accepted tradeoff: we
+// cannot distinguish a user's keystrokes from a terminal's DECRPM reply without
+// parsing the input records, and leaking escape sequences into the shell prompt
+// is the worse failure.
