Description-en: Make any Node ReadableStream emit "keypress" events
Previous to Node v0.8.x, there was an undocumented "keypress" event that
process.stdin would emit when it was a TTY. Some people discovered this
hidden gem, and started using it in their own code.
.
In Node v0.8.x (and above), this "keypress" event does not get emitted by
default, but rather only when it is being used in conjunction with the
readline (or by extension, the repl) module.
.
This module is the exact logic from the node pre-v0.8.x releases ripped out
into its own module.
.
Bonus: Now with mouse support!
