Thanks, that is good info. I did not know that.  I wonder if we should
call that before handing over control to the python executed script in
the breakpoint "stop" callback? Or maybe provide a Python API call to
turn control of the TTY to GDB and likewise to the inferior.

Any opinions on this would be great. What do you (all) think?

Cheers
