Some time ago there was discussion about making UTF-8 the default
encoding for Clojure I/O and that's now implemented. It's only a
default though. The code I proposed would establish the root binding
for the *err* var. Within any thread (including the main thread), it
could be bound to something else temporarily using clojure/bind or set
to something else until changed again using the set! special form.
