I know. But just yesterday I worked with a standard 21.2 installation,
where the prompt of scp was not recognised (it is in the current
pretest). I had to enter my password and since I knew that a comand
existed to do that I tried to gess its name, to no avail. I had to do a
search for `passord' in the manual to find it.
Since Emacs cannot know of all the programs that ask for a password, and
givent that this is a very important issue, especially when you are not
working on your box, I'd say that:
- the send-invisible command should have at least the two aliases above
- it should be in the comint menu (I do not use menus myself, so I do
not know whether it is already there) with a comprehensible name
