+Stream redirection
+------------------
+Stream redirections (">", "<" and "|" constructs in sh) are not
+implemented yet in tesh. This is a bit restrictive, but well, patch
+welcome...
+
+The situation in which it is mainly problematic is to create a
+temporary file. The solution is to use the "mkfile" buildin command,
+as in the following example:
+$ mkfile myFile
+> some content
+> to the file
+
+This will create a file called myFile (first argument of the mkfile
+command). Its content will be all the input provided to the command.
