Hi Alejandro,

This is useful for using tee to just write to a file,
at the end of a pipeline,
without having to redirect to /dev/null

Example:

echo 'foo' | sudo tee -q /etc/foo;

is equivalent to the old (and ugly)

echo 'foo' | sudo tee /etc/foo >/dev/null;

What's bad with

echo foo |  sudo sh -c "cat > /etc/foo" ?
