That is actually not true.  My call of hSetBuffering stdin LineBuffering
wasn't actually happening (I put it after a call to exitWith).  Just for
the archives (and anyone interested) I figured I should clarify that bit of
misinformation.  It seems that as long as you set stdin's buffering back to
LineBuffering before you exit, you are safe from messing up the terminal
settings.
