Yup, that's how we do it in the BRL shell when command-line editing
(and history) are enabled.  As to stty, we simply made it a builtin
that merely invoked the real one but keeps track of the new non-prompt
tty state that results.  The way I actually look at it is that the
"vanilla" tty state is established for programs that are executed,
the "fancy" state is (of necessity) exactly that which the shell needs
for its own (command-line editing and job control) purposes, and "stty"
changes the "vanilla" state only.
