Sure, or you could just start multiple xterms or emacs shell buffers
(my preferred setup).

But I'm sure there are people who would prefer C-z too.

I think it's the main case, that's why I didn't implement C-z at all. But I
think we should keep it as a design consideration and not preclude it in the
future.

Hm. I had a thought though. Perhaps C-z should just immediately start a new
connection. That would perhaps maintain the shell metaphor the way Tom was
thinking where you're always at a usable prompt. That might suck if you're at
a password-authenticated connection.
