R help - Nov 2008 - Having R (not the OS) redirect stderr() to stdout()

R users,

I am aware that R can be invoked such that the operating system
redirects standard error (stderr) to standard output (stdout), but I
want to have R itself (not the OS) redirect the connection given by
stderr() to connection given by stdout().  Is that possible?  Perhaps
equivalently, can I make all error messages and warnings go to
stdout() instead of stderr()?  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

See ?sink (and heed the warnings).

Depending on what the connections are, the stdout and stderr may or may 
not interleave correctly.
