+Perhaps for an interactive tool, intended mainly to be run in a\r
+terminal. But nmbug-status is not such a tool (at least, that was not\r
+why I wrote it). It's run non-interactively in a git hook to generate a\r
+web page.\r
+\r
+I'm not sure how important the interactive use case is, but I don't want\r
+to make nmbug-status less robust in order to conform to some abstract\r
+ideal.\r
+\r
+One approach would be to enable certain "interactive" features via a\r
+command line argument.\r
