This makes test_terminal more realistic, too: the usual case is for stdout and stderr to go to a terminal (unless explicitly captured or redirected). Tests can use 'test_terminal sh -c "foo >/dev/null"' to test that a command correctly handles being run with stderr a terminal and stdout not. And I doubt this would make test_terminal much slower.
