impossible to trace REXX stages on TSO?

My first thought is to run under z/OS Unix (at least for debugging)
using the new-fangled "address TSO" and redirect Rexx console output
to a POSIX pipe (not a TSO pipe).

Alas:

o "address TSO" does not propagate parent descriptors to the child
  process.  I consider this a terrible design decision.

o "address TSO" starts a TSO-like process, in which such redirection
  is likely impossible, anyway.

But still, might the TSO pipelines stages run under z/OS Unix?
