>This allows callers to more easily differentiate valid output from
>errors.  A recent example is facter.  When calling virt-what for its
>virtual fact, it gets 'virt-what: this script must be run as root' as
>the fact value when run as non-root:
>
>$ facter | grep ^virtual
>virtual => virt-what: this script must be run as root

>This is mildly related to RHBZ #719611Â¹.
