[swift-evolution] Addition of a standardError OutputStream

[Erica Sadun]

Right now it's more like "foo".write(to: &stream) but I agree that having to implement
a custom stream is kind of irritating for stderr and stdout.

import Cocoa

var str = "Hello, playground"

struct StderrStream: OutputStream {
    static var shared = StderrStream()
    func write(_ string: String) { fputs(string, stderr) }
}

str.write(to: &StderrStream.shared)

-- E
