'''Tests for WindowsConsoleIO

Unfortunately, most testing requires interactive use, since we have no
API to read back from a real console, and this class is only for use
with real consoles.

Instead, we validate that basic functionality such as opening, closing
and in particular fileno() work, but are forced to leave real testing
to real people with real keyborads.
