what is the overall methodology you have for openssh and nagle?

i'd rather not have a tunable for every possible TCP endpoint and usage
variation.

my somewhat high-level thoughts are currently:

non-ssh connection endpoints (those not going over the SSH transport)
should not use nagle:
	connect_to(), channel_post_port_lister()

for the ssh transport connection, we use nagle by default only if it is a
session channel with a pty and shell or exec channel

other channel types would cause connection to be nodelay on both sides (as
determined and set by ssh and sshd)

nodelay yes/no would be available to change default for pty,shell,exec
only behavior.
