Bug description: The backtick operator only returns stdout, not stderr
If I use the backtick operator, like:
$output =
command goes here;
and if the program 'command' returns its output to stderr and not stdout,
then it's not easy to get the output.
Right now, it can be solved by adding:
2> /tmp/file/here
and then reading the file in the script, but that's not a good solution.
