Right.  My original patch made T::H::S use that, but I now prefer to put
that burden on the program that uses the module to make sure that
diagnostics come in correctly.

I don't know that that's a problem if you redirect STDERR to the same
place as STDOUT.  Is there any OS where the order of printing is that
badly nondeterministic?  If so, can I wave my hands at its users and
suggest either upgrading or lobbying to add sequence numbers to output?

(Disclaimer: if Stevens says I can't, I won't.  I haven't checked.)
