I had a similar idea once, more along the lines of using Pd for hooking 
up pipes as a shell:

     https://code.goto10.org/svn/maximus/2007/pish/

I have no recollection any more of how far I got with that project, so 
it probably doesn't work let alone build...


BTW/OT just yesterday I figured out how to redirect stdout to stderr in 
bash:

     #!/bin/bash
     echo "this goes to stdout"
     echo "this goes to stderr" 1>&2

(Which should have been obvious from the familiar "pd -stderr 2>&1")
