Smack me down if this has already been discussed to death, please...
S16 (and now S28) say that $*DEFOUT, $*DEFIN and $*DEFERR are what most programs should use instead of $*OUT, $*IN and $*ERR. That seems anti-huffman to me, and I'll bet many programmers will use $*OUT when they should be using $*DEFOUT because the former is shorter and more obvious.
Perhaps instead the default handles should be $*OUT, $*IN and $*ERR while the standard handles should be $*STDOUT, $*STDIN and $*STDERR?
