The next message in the thread is from Ulrich Drepper, saying:

  I will not implement this since it's completely up to the application
  to do this.  One knows in advance when this is necessary.  If there is
  a problem with the current code to select when line-buffering is used
  (we use as everybody else isatty) then one can talk about this.  I
  think it is correct, though.
