Enable separate stderr and stdout
At the moment those two channels are pooled into the output buffer.
When calling an external tool sometimes it is useful to have split output channels.
I do not understand well your proposal. Could you give a more detailed suggestion?
If a script has the following lines
println(stdout,"normal message")
println(stderr,"error message")
Both of the outputs are sent to sock. In a regular script the output could be separated by using
julia script.jl &2> /dev/null which pipes stderr into /dev/null.
The redirection can be seen for example here: https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl/blob/24930ead0bd536f848c2a3251a0faec284fe1356/src/DaemonMode.jl#L86-L113
I don't need this at the moment and I think the implementation could be tricky, but I guess it could be useful. One way I see would be to encapsulate the two outputs on the sock stream. The other might be to use a second channel.
As a workaround one might use Suppressor.jl inside the script.
