Re: [PATCH] Add support for trace and error output streams in Common Lisp

[Tom Gillespie <tgbugs@gmail.com>]

Hi,

One comment on this patch right now is that =errors= should probably
be changed to =error= for consistency with the slime nomenclature and
with the fact that all the rest of the options for the :results header
are singular nouns.

I also wanted to chime in here with a note that this seems to fall
into a larger set of questions about standardization and
regularization of the org babel api that have appeared on the list
over the past couple of months.

I think that error has a clear and useful meaning for many languages
and it would be great to be able to capture it without resorting to
hackery like 2>&1 which
can't actually separate out the errors from the outputs when working in a shell.

I think this also points to a larger potential feature which is the ability to
capture and insert the output of multiple different streams at the same time
(more on that in a forthcoming mail on org-babel, which I might hold off on
until after the 9.4 release).

Best!
Tom
