You can't use put with standard output because standard output is NBOT
seekable, and explaining to users why they can only put to the end of
standard out is a mess. Write, OTOH, only allows append.

Besides, as far as Unix is concerned, almost everything is a file. Even
if stdout goes to a web browser, it's still a file.
