diag() writes to STDERR by default, so it's noisy and clutters output. Core tests use C<print "# message\n"> instead for this reason. Is there a way to make diag() output to STDOUT by default globally (from the test harness) ? I'd rather not mess with redirections, but a global environment variable that would tell Test::Builder to use STDOUT for all streams by default would be nice. That way dual-life module authors could still use diag() to print informative messages. Would a patch be welcomed?
