Having an additional option to refer to a certain file descriptor
sounds worthwhile and tempting. OTOH, you can already refer to
/dev/stderr as a file name for the 2nd file descriptor already
on many/most systems:
echo big long complicated error message goes here | tee /dev/stderr
Does this work for you?
