No, it doesn't work in Athena 9 and it wouldn't work in Athena 10 if
we modified detach to start working again and someone (or the same
user, in broder's proposal) had run `detach consult`.
detach should probably become a complete no-op, because of the UI bug
it now causes for some experienced Athena <=9 users like wdc.
