The question was how to redirect to a command, not a file.  You might think
that something like 2| would work, but it doesn't (at least in sh, I have
no ksh to try it on).

I have tried several permutations of re-ordering file descriptors and trying
to use new ones with the _exec- builtin but have had no success yet.
