No, as we'll soon *cough* have exceptions and language level warnings which will want to talk to stderr, and which we will want to test for correct operation. We also currently test the output of internal (parrot level) fatal errors and will want to continue to do so. These should also not be easily triggered from the language level, so must be exercised by throwing appropriate bytecode at the interpreter.
