I've been following this bug with some interest. A lot of good ideas
here, but there are some technical issues that haven't been addressed.

Until all the common unix utilities can be upgraded to be affiliate-
aware, common pipe operations might suffer from related amazon results.
if you pipe grep into awk for example, without being able to be sure of
the results, things can get messy.

I feel this issue can be solved by introducing a new 'default' file
descriptor. In addition to 'stdout' and 'stderr', I propose a
'stdaffiliate' file descriptor, and amazon results can go there. This
would allow us to see relevant results in the terminal, but keep them
out of pipes unless purposely redirected.
