Such as when...? Make never redirects shell output, error or otherwise,
that I can think of... $(shell ...) is the special case in that it traps
stdout and returns it as the result of the function evaluation.
I thought the @ character did that. My mistake. I still think it would
be useful if there was a simple way to do it but I see that even the
shell itself doesn't let me selectively silence its errors. So never
mind, I'll just use my hack.
