Basically the problem is that in order for this to work on a native 
target, that target must be async. Right now there are no async native 
targets. I hope to correct that when I've got some more cycles.

This is still a very, very tricky situation, though. While many programs 
will work with just this target output, I would suspect that many 
applications simply won't work (well) this way. Imagine trying to debug 
emacs or vi -- the developer is almost certainly going to want to use a 
separate tty for the inferior. Unless the UI developer is willing (or 
crazy enough) to implement a terminal emulator in the IDE/GUI, these more 
sophisticated programs just aren't going to work properly.
