		Due to the design of POSIX, it is possible to temporarily overload the
		file descriptors corresponding to stdout and stderr to point to an

		used to make misbehaving third-party C libraries stop spewing to
		standard output. Warning: the module author has concluded that due to
		lack of portability, this module should not be used in any serious
		sytem. But, for those who like living dangerously...
