They _would_ behave like cat, except that Python is slow enough. Half a second

it's pretty frequent that when I don't wait enough for an op. to complete I
get a traceback from the import statements, which haven't been completed.
That's a thing I should fix in StGIT - trapping the exception
generated by SIGTERM and exiting silently.
And let's leave Gentoo's emerge alone - I'd say imports can take up to a
minute.
That's probably because it checks the status of the tree before
importing but this command wouldn't be used to generate the
completion.
