Allow users to set output stream about survey HOT 6 CLOSED

What should be the output (to file or stdout) ? The questions and the answers together ? Or just the answers ? And in case of questions - the complete message of the question or just the name of the question which is used to identify the question and get the answer currently

so answers are already in STDIN, they don't need to be in any of the output streams.

however, the questions, animations etc, they can go to STDERR (hopefully we're not expecting people to save ansi escape sequences we use to do animations to files).

this way I can easily write a program that only prints to STDOUT from my code and not from the survey package.

I still need this feature and may take a look at it. Or would you like to tackle it yourself @AlecAivazis ? It looks like all the changes required would be in this repo.

hey @ahmetb! Sorry for not responding - if you want to submit a PR with some test cases I would love to review it. I agree that sending only the results to stdout is probably the way to go. sending the animation stuff to stderr feels a bit weird but I'm not sure what else to do... maybe just leave it up to the user and provide a field that they can explicitly connect to stderr if they want?

Looking forward to seeing it implemented!

Hey @ahmetb - sorry for pinging you out of nowhere, I just wanted to put on your radar that PR #143 is going to be merging soon which should hopefully address your needs.

I'm going to close this since #143 has been merged. If it doesn't address your exact needs @ahmetb, feel free to open another issue
