Never?  Note that kermit / ymodem / S-record download etc. all don't
have any issues with sendign characters back-to-back at line speed.

Problems happen only with multi-line input, so it is perfectly fine
to handle just that - at the root cause, i. e. when input turns into
multi-line input.

Best regards,
