Are you sure about this? ...If I make that change to the first if, the
second part of the else if's condition get a chance it didn't have
previously.

What I'd like to do here is to take advantage of the function that was
added:

if (!n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl(tty, c) &&
tty->flow.stopped && !tty->flow.tco_stopped && I_IXANY(tty) &&
c != INTR_CHAR(tty) && c != QUIT_CHAR(tty) &&
c != SUSP_CHAR(tty))) {
start_tty(tty);
process_echoes(tty);
}
...but it will change STOP_CHAR vs START_CHAR precedence for the case
where they're the same characters. I don't know if it matters.
