🚀 go-pugleaf

Emacs seems to be very pty-hungry.  On all our systems pty's are a scarce
resource, compared to pipes, but only xscheme.el seems to bother to set
process-connection-type to nil.  Here is a change to server.el, but I suspect
similar changes need to be made to cmacexp.el, mh-e.el, time.el, and maybe
compile.el and makeinfo.el.  In fact maybe the default should be nil, and
interactive utilities like shell.el and terminal.el should set it explicitly
to `t' ?

Comments ?
