user-friendliness sanity checks: catch common mistakes regarding $1/$2/$3.
.do files should never modify $1, and should write to *either* $3 or stdout, but not both. If they write to both, it's probably because they forgot to redirect stdout to stderr, a very easy mistake to make but a hard one to detect. Now redo detects it for you and prints an informative message.

# we don't delete $3 here, we just truncate and overwrite it. But redo

# can detect this by checking the current file position of our stdout when
|
||||
# we exit, and making sure it equals either 0 or the file size.

|

# If it doesn't, then we accidentally wrote to *both* stdout and a separate

# file, and we should get warned about it.
