+ Due to the design of POSIX, it is possible to temporarily overload the
+ file descriptors corresponding to stdout and stderr to point to an
+ arbitrary pipe. It is, however, tricky to get right. This module gets
+ it right, as far as such a terrible hack can be made right. It can be
+ used to make misbehaving third-party C libraries stop spewing to
+ standard output. Warning: the module author has concluded that due to
+ lack of portability, this module should not be used in any serious
+ sytem. But, for those who like living dangerously...
