It is worth noting that there is already (a) special case(s) to
distinguish a OS/2 console and a Xterm-like console for other purposes.
For example, in readline.c (866) :

#ifdef OS2
/* We need to call different procedures, dependent on the
   session type: VIO/window or an (XFree86) xterm */
static char
os2_getch() {
  static int IsXterm =3D 0;
  static int init =3D 0;

  if (!init) {
     if (getenv("WINDOWID")) {
        IsXterm =3D 1;
     }
     init =3D 1;
  }
  if (IsXterm) {
     return ansi_getc();
  } else {
     return msdos_getch();
  }
}
#endif /* OS2 */


If this code has worked for years, and it is likely to be the case (
*_getch() is used for each input character), we can be confident that a
test for WINDOWID is enough to know who manages the console.
