[lldb-dev] [RFC]The future of pexpect

[Zachary Turner via lldb-dev]

FileCheck the ansi escape codes seems like one possibility.

In general I think you don't actually need to test true interactivity,
because the odds of there being a problem in the 2-3 lines of code that
convert the keyboard press to something else in LLDB are very unlikely to
be problematic, and the rest can be mocked.
