Actually, I think it should go to stdout as well. To be filterable, the
headers and other `sugar' ought to disappear. The right answer (for the
future) is that the command ought to have a flag to disable headers.

You don't really want to route that to a different file descriptor
because the command would then have to worry about synchronizing the two
descriptors to keep the non-filtered output looking good. ps could use a
-noheader flag or something that tells it to forget the header this
time, I want to play with the output.
