      However, if you have problems you can trick it: type `tt({)' on a line
      by itself, then paste the input, then type `tt(})' on a line by
      itself.  The shell will not execute anything until the final brace is
      read; all input is read as continuation lines (this may require the
      fixes referred to above in order to be reliable).
