alias condom 'stty -g >! /tmp/stty'$$' ; \!* ; sh -c '"'"'stty `cat /tmp/stty'$$'`'"'"

All the weird quotes are thanks to an unforgiving shell. It'd be easier as
as shell script, but then you couldn't condom aliases. If there was a *real*
inverse to stty -g (i.e., reading from stdin) it'd help a lot.
