I said redirection, not indirection, and I was thinking of OS-level
changes. If input() is actually reading from some file/device, then
any error that that could raise could come up from reading from stdin.
Imagine if your script is running with input redirected from a file on
a dodgy remote mount, and the far end goes down - at some point,
you'll attempt to read and fail. I'm not sure that you'll see EOF
then; by rights, you ought to see some other error.
