Comment(by cscott):

 While I'm bitching about 'become_root', the idea that the terminal is
 going to paste 'become_root' and enter into your terminal when you hit the
 button is really broken.  We ought to have a proper root shell, not try to
 magically paste shell commands into the terminal.  Please let's fix this
 by killing become_root; let's not ship losing ideas.
