I can't think of a reasonable way to avoid this. All of the things
I can think of will use something nasty like expect. I suggest creating
~/.my.cnf instead; this is what I always do. I think this should be a
WontFix, because there are alternative ways to do it, and making the
tool itself do the work will be a coding nightmare IMO.
