Are these sufficient for the security / setuid use case?  I think 
writing to stderr might cause the program to do something different than 
what was intended (and, as a compiler, we have no idea either what the 
program or its caller is supposed to be doing).

I did not successfully find out from Google-ing whether this is 
something to be concerned about.
