While Ctrl+Z <enter> does terminate clang-query on Windows, it's an incredibly obtuse way to terminate an interactive application on Windows. (Having used Windows for 20 years, I had to go look up what Ctrl+Z does!) Saying "but we can document it" doesn't really change that fact; users can already look at the documentation on MSDN to learn that Ctrl+Break or Ctrl+C will send a SIGINT (Ctrl+Z sets the EOF indicator, which is even more obtuse).

I'm not certain that control codes to terminate interactive shell programs on Windows is as normal as it is on Unix-like systems.
