Another approach we've taken in other places to avoid the "Huh?" that
triggered this thread is to do something like:

       if there is no argument

               if reading from tty
               then
                       echo >&2 "Reading from terminal, waiting for input..."
               fi
               process stdin
       else
               for arg
               do
                       process $arg
               done
       fi

Unfortunately, this will invalidate your "check -t 0 and error out" patch,
but some people may find it easier to work with and more friendly.

Well perhaps we should just deal w/ctrl-c only and ignore the terminal
check altogether.
