Thanks a lot!!
This must be one of the most guarded secrets of serial port programming ;-)
Implemented since 2006, commit edc6afc5496875a6 ("[PATCH] tty: switch to
ktermios and new framework"), not documented in today's man-pages.

It really is, I have to look it up each time it comes up :(

yeah, serial port control really needs to be documented better, there's
all sorts of nice ways of controlling them that people don't seem to
know about. I used to have a link to a bunch of online examples, but
can't seem to find that anymore either. Ugh, another thing for the long
TODO file...
