Is this a standard procedure? (To send "normal" program outputs to
STDERR?) I was under the impression that only errors go to STDERR, but
I'm not sure if other programs do this, that's why I'm asking.
Although some programs do it, it is not the standard way.
The normal way is to detect if the stdout is a terminal, and output
verbose info only in this case, thus "program|cat" will not print the
verbose form.
But outputting "monitoring" info to STDERR is commonly done.
