added --quiet, --stdin and --stdout for easier integration into UNIX pipelines
* In principle --stdin and --stdout could have been done in pure TECO code using the
<^T> command.
Having built-in command-line arguments however has several advantages:
* Significantly faster than reading byte-wise with ^T.
* Performs EOL normalization unless specifying --8bit of course.
* Significantly shortens command-lines.
`sciteco -qio` and `sciteco -qi` can be real replacements for sed and awk.
* You can even place SciTECO into the middle of a pipeline while editing
interactively:
foo | sciteco -qio --no-profile | bar
Unfortunately, this will not currently work when munging the profile
as command-line parameters are also transmitted via the unnamed buffer.
This should be changed to use special Q-registers (FIXME).
* --quiet can help to improve the test suite (TODO).
Should probably be the default in TE_CHECK().
* --stdin and --stdout allow to simplify many SciTECO scripts, avoiding
temporary files, especially for womenpage generation (TODO).
* For processing potentially infinite streams, you will still have to
read using ^T.
