Theoretically speaking it may be possible that a caller may want to
write to fd#0 if it closed the standard input before creating the
output channel for multiplexing into a sideband, but I think this
design strikes a good balance between the theoretical correctness
and usability. Using err_fd == -1 as "no redirect" may allow the
caller to redirect the errors to fd#0, but that forces normal users
to explicitly set this field to -1.
