On GNU and Unix hosts, there's no issue.
stderr should not be redirected.  It never has
been redirected, and there's no reason to change.

There's no reason for Emacs to change its behavior
on GNUish hosts.  People on these hosts are used to
the current behavior with stderr.  Any problems
in this area are limited to Microsoft platforms, and
can be solved in a Microsoft-specific way.
