There are many reasons why one could end up with text in a terminal
that doesn't end in a newline. A couple of them are:
- An app is killed in the middle of writing its output (eg: because of
a sigterm/sigkill).
- A file that isn't a POSIX text file is printed to the terminal.
So I think this should still be handled by bash.
