Thanks Mike, this would allow fixing the problem, that display results
don't appear in STDOUT. The help says:
Display "x" using the topmost applicable display in the display
stack, typically using the richest supported multimedia output for
"x", with plain-text "STDOUT" output as a fallback.
Redefining display() with hard coded STDOUT as the first parameter could be
one way. Another is temporarily modify the "display stack", to put STDOUT
on the top.
--- Can someone tell us how to do these correctly? (Base.display(x) =
println(x) seems to work reasonable well.)
Now "only" the problem of catching syntax error messages remain
