How about a csh facility for redirecting the error port to a file?

>& is not what I want since I can't separate errors from output and
|& cat > seems like a kludge.

How about a csh facility for redirecting the error port to a file?
Like for putting the output into a different file from the errors.

Wouldn't it be great if _a_l_l the system programs (including the operating
system) passed through lliinntt with nary a complaint? (except for sccsid not
referenced, etc.)  And I _d_o_n_'_t mean by castrating lliinntt!! (Like redefining it
to be  ccaatt >> //ddeevv//nnuullll ).

Here's another kludge:
( command > stdout-file ) >& stderr-file

The Bourne shell (sh) had a great facility for directing any output of a
program to a file or to any input of another program.  Why doesn't csh do
the same?
