Do keep in mind that /dev/stdin{out,err} aren't completely portable. Bash emulates them if they don't exist, but this usage bypasses Bash. So there are unix like platforms where this trick won't work. They do, though, seem to be supported on the ones that are most popular now (Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD).
