 Darcs apply doesn't work when reading from a file with interactive mode:
  {{{darcs apply -i < foo.dpatch}}}
 In that case, Haskeline should read user input from stdin, like `less`.

 Darcs ticket and email thread:
 http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1648
 http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-users/2009-October/021861.html

 There's two possible ways to do this:
   - Query an environmental flag (e.g. HASKELINE_FORCE_TTY).
   - Add a parameter to one of Haskeline's functions.

 We need to figure out the Darcs use cases in order to decide which way is
 better.
