+   control (Emacs would never be run as part of a pipeline).

+   process group in order to receive SIGIO correctly.  In this
+   situation, we put ourselves in our own pgroup, forcibly set the
+   tty's pgroup to our pgroup, and make sure to restore and reinstate
+   the tty's pgroup just like any other terminal setting.  If
+   inherited_group was not the tty's pgroup, then we'll get a
+   SIGTTmumble when we try to change the tty's pgroup, and a CONT if
+   it goes foreground in the future, which is what should happen.  */
