Dealing with the three streams and pattern matching on them while
taking care of synchronization issues is needed, but there's another
headache for doing an expect-like thing.  Some programs will behave
differently when they're working on a pty, so you'd also need to deal
with that somehow.  (For example, running ssh and feeding it a
password is something that requires that.)
