This is arguable but is not relevant to the point I wish to make here.

That point is, follow-EOF mode is not restricted to displaying on a
tty.  I regularly (meaning, in this case, typically about once a week)
have call to run "tail +0f" with its output piped into something else.
(Usually, this is wanting tail +0f behavior on a logfile, but the
logfile is verbose and I'm interested in only a small subset of the
lines in the log, so I pipe tail's output into grep.)
