For any script that is non-interactive the terminal will appear and then
disappear once the script is done running. On my system it's barely
noticeable. One thing that I'd be open to is modifying the standard so that
scripts put something like #BUG_INTERACTIVE in the interactive scripts. We
could trivially grep for this phrase, launch a terminal in this one case,
or just run the script and get the output directly if this comment is
absent. I don't know of any interactive bug scripts that currently exist,
so this should be a fairly simple thing to require if people are willing
(I've CC'ed -devel for opinions on this).
