Ah, well.
Then I guess the Unix way of solving this would be to add yet another
binary (there's already cat and tee) which would basically just open a
file and write standard input to it. It could be called "open" :) and
basically be slimmed down  (cripled some would say?) version of tee
(without the tee's feature of writing standard input to standard
output).
