Thats of course working as well, but its just not feeling "clean". I
quite like the philosophy that user information (errors, etc., which is
the case here) go to stderr. Isn't that the general consent in POSIX
environments? I don't see the drawback of writing to stderr. Should any
tool be expecting that information?
