1. Debug a program that produces massive amounts of output.
2. Let it run long enough for the console to lag behind the output.
3. Select the terminate button on the console or terminate the IProcess in 
the debug view. The launch terminates
4. Sit back and relax as the console continues to read buffered data. In 
the case where your program has been running a long time (hours?), go out 
for coffee.

If a program exits normally, we should continue to read the output until we 
catch up. However, when the user clicks "terminate" we should stop reading 
output (debug targets already do this when terminated). When the user 
clicks "terminate" they're not asking for their program to be exited 
cleanly.

Note that you can press the "clear" button to stop the output - it flushes the 
buffer.
