The fact that it is described in pam(8) does not mean we like it.  We
also have a man page for gets(3), but you know what BDE will say if
you try to use it.

No.  The "[...]" form is a Linux-PAM invention, and is tightly linked
to Linux-PAM implementation details.  It does not exist in other PAM

not *towards* it.
