Ah, I think I see now what you mean.

   | Consider the following command:
   |
   | echo bar | (echo foo | xargs --interactive grep)
   |
   | What should grep's stdin be, /dev/tty or the stdout of "echo
   | bar"? Is the answer different for other programs? Why? (I

This?

By the time xargs runs, the stdout of 'echo bar' is already
not available *at all* any more in Unix, there is no way any
program can retrieve it with standard Unix tools (Linux procfs
might, but even then, possibly not, depending on the shell
used and how it handles fds).

So that’s not an issue ;-)

I assume --interactive would be -o ?
