As os.Stdout/os.Stderr are *os.File, not io.Writer, you need to go a step
further and use os.Pipe <https://golang.org/pkg/os/#Pipe>. Something like
this:
https://play.golang.org/p/V6ygCmwlsiz
TBH, it's not great to do this. As you can tell from the code, this is
pretty complicated and if you want error handling, it gets even more
complex. Then there is the problem that writes are not synchronous, which
can't really be solved, as you write to an `os.File` (going to the OS
directly, so this can't be changed) which can do internal buffering, so the
write can return before your spawned goroutine even sees it.
Really, it is better to pass a custom `io.Writer` or something to whatever
produces the output you want to modify.
