Severity: wishlist
ssh provides a terminal device to the shell executing remotely when it
is run without a command. It does not do this if a command is
specified.
However, it can be useful to run a command which needs a terminal device. Therefore it would be good to have a commandline option to request one.
Also, in some cases it may not be needed to have a terminal device, even
if there is no command, e.g. if standard input is not connected to the
keyboard. A commandline option for that may be useful as well.

-t Force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute
arbitrary screen-based programs on a remote machine,
which can be very useful, e.g., when implementing menu
services. Multiple -t options force tty allocation, even
if ssh has no local tty.

-T Disable pseudo-tty allocation.
