Avery Pennarun 6d767e2a65 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.

# this shouldn't be allowed; stdout is connected to $3 already, so if we
# replace it *and* write to stdout, we're probably confused.
echo hello world
rm -f $3
echo goodbye world >$3
