An alternative to providing user interaction in agent protocol is to
forward $(tty) to the agent, so ncurses application can do its
interaction from the origin tool terminal.

What I fear is a user working in multi terminal environment, having
agent running in one terminal and ssh in another terminal, the ssh is
waiting for the agent, while the agent is waiting for user input at
other invisible terminal. The user is not notified, and from his
perspective it looks like that ssh is not responding.

The current agent-less mode makes it much more simple to solve this
without a change in the agent protocol.

Also please expose the agent the buffer interface, and the uuencode.
