OK, but native apps are a big concern for us (and perhaps others).
We use ...

Allocating a pty does change the behavior of some programs, like ls.
People (or scripts) might be surprised by the behavior of ...
ssh -t cygwin-system ls | grep whatever
... because ls is going to do multi-column output.
Also, I wonder about the performance impact of allocating a pty.
Probably minimal compared to the ssh authentication stuff, but
it would be nice to avoid the extra mechanism when it's not needed.
