Thanks for the suggested documentation change.
A good example would help. For example, you could show how to
tee output to one process that would grep for something,
while another (through a fifo) might save a compressed copy.
While you may think it's easy just to paste a line into coreutils.texi,
there's more to it than that. If you take the time to construct a useful
example, create a proper unified diff showing your changes to the .texi
file, and spend just a little more time to write a ChangeLog entry,
I'll be more likely to apply your change.
