When you are in a "... | while read" loop, the stuff inside the while loop
has stdin coming from the pipe.

BTW; there's two calls of 'f', one in the loop (without stdin),
the other outside (supposedly having stdin). - I wonder why the
latter also didn't work; it neither showed the flushed data nor
interrogated the interactive confirmation for the final data.
(Am I still missing something?)
