Perhaps \o+ as a future fix for this?
I'd prefer "\o >>file" but maybe I'm too steeped in unix-isms.
\o+ is reasonably consistent with the other \ command usages...
Not really; none of the other commands interpret + as meaning
"append to
an existing file". They tend to take it as meaning "do something *in
addition to* what you normally do", not to do something that is
significantly different from the base command.

I like that. Specifying other file descriptors (e.g. 2>) and
redirecting output from on fd to another (#>&) would be nice.
