So a person could use 3 and call it stmisc, for example?
Well, you needn't "call" it anything... just use it. In any case, if
you're inventing your own, prepending its name with "std" seems to be
a misnomer.
Perhaps out of my ignorance of it I do not know how to ask the right
question. stdin, stdout, and stderr are merely names used only by
people for convenience? to have a convenient way of referring to 0, 1,
and 2? Or do the names get used otherwise?
