The windows console is implemented by separate code. It is used Command
Prompt, Powershell, Python, and other test-mode console applications.
I can't answer other questions. I imagine that *nix-like operations,
one best use WSL? (Windows Subsystem for Linux?) or a Windows Bash
imitation (Git bash, for instance). I believe git bash uses the same
console as its interface.
