I like the STDIN to STDOUT thing in general, since this allows piping,
chaining and composing of various tools, and I'm not sure, why we would
discourage a pattern which is common inside of the language, in the
tools of the langauge.

Instead of a special flag though, I'd prefer `-` as a filename, which is
pretty common in linux. When used as a “filename” to read from, its
meaning is “read from STDIN”, if though its used as a “filename” for the
output its meaning is ”write to STDOUT”.
