Yes. Now we need to decide if we want brltty to be able to respond to the
request for a PIN or should we be in the business of providing a separate
command-line client for binding a PIN to a Bluetooth device address. The latter
is more generic, and, therefore, more generally useful, but such an application
really should belong to the Bluetooth people themselves.
