Yeah, although I've seen things that tie stderr and stdout together....  
putting warnings on stderr is probably not terribly useful anyway ...  
(One could drop a message to syslog if isatty() failed, but you'd not 
want to do it too often (no spamming of syslog, please), which would 
require some kind of state keeping... may not be worth the effort.)
