I agree. Since any multiple-output-file case can't usefully use stdout,
I think we should combine the switches and just have one switch that
says both that you want separated output and what the target filename
is. Thus something like
--pre-schema-file = foo
--data-file = bar
--post-schema-file = baz
where specifying any of these suppresses the "normal" output to stdout.
So, if you give just a subset of them, you get just subset output.
With this design, --schema-only, --data-only, and --file are obsolete,
and we should probably throw an error if any of them are used in
combination with these switches.
this looks good. But arguably it's really pre-data and post-data.
pre-schema would be something that comes before the schema, no? Or maybe
it should be {pre,post}-data-schema-file.
