--- Comment #12 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles at FreeBSD.org> ---
As for the sh(1) part, it looks like it should work but I don't really like
that it's a workaround for a workaround: sh supplies its standard error as
standard output to libedit, so that prompts are written to standard error as
required by POSIX. The bind builtin would then temporarily undo this again.

However, something is definitely required to prevent bind's output from staying
in a stdio buffer indefinitely. It is also useful to report write errors like
other builtins can.

I will think about it for a while.
