Oh, you mean the welcome message was going directly to stdout, while
info-port was always going to stderr?
I see. Perhaps we need yet another port, say `greeting-port' (or even
`welcome-port', although that would sound too whimsical to me [1]),
which would go by default to stdout and can be redirected as needed?
Sounds a bit heavy-handed, but would tick all backwards-compat boxes.
Cheers
