[issue2571] can cmd.py's API/docs for the use of an alternate stdin be improved?

[Terry J. Reedy]

Jack, several questions.
Are you saying that when stdin is a pipe and not a tty, pdb works better with use_rawinput set False? 
Are you sure that the auto setting is correct in all use cases?
Are you aware that you can set use_rawinput 'manually'?
Have you read my previous response msg118093?
Are you willing to help sort out the questions and issues therein?
