    Well, there's certainly nothing in the standard that tries to say how
    the run-time has to interact with the OS or anything like that -- it
    just places (or in this case, doesn't place) certain requirements on
    what the implementation as a whole has to be able to provide.

    In this case, since it's basically impossible to provide it on some
    systems, they didn't require that the implementation provide a way to
    read one character at a time.
