It works everywhere except inside the IPython shell (once bfrt_python
is executed), i.e. it also works inside the rest of bfshell/ucli.  My
suspicion was that IPyhton might try to infer something by looking at
what's connected to stdin. I'll try to find out what IPython is
actually doing (so far, it doesn't seem like TERM has any effect).
