I was wondering about a possible RFE and whether or not
it is "inadvisable" or not. I'd be surprised if no one had
thought of it -- so maybe there is a problem in doing it.
Just like:
&>word #(preferred syntax)
and
>&word
are semantically equivalent to ">word 2>&1"
Has it been thought to make
|>word #(preferred form)
semantically equivalent to "2>&1 | word" ?
I note that ">|" is used to "emphatically overwrite a
pre-existing file when the "-c" option is used to prevent
overwrites. Why wasn't ">!" used for that?
Also, along the same lines (but less useful, IMO) would be
&>>word #(append stderr & stdout to word)
Just an oft recurring thought....
