Is there a reason why rabbitmqctl_real writes error messages to stdout
instead of stderr?
$ rabbitmqctl_real delete_user guest
Deleting user "guest" ...
rabbit_control action delete_user failed:
{error,{no_such_user,<<"guest">>}}
$ rabbitmqctl_real delete_user guest > /dev/null
It's no big deal, and I don't need anyone to fix it, and it didn't even
slow me down. But it could have and it's unconventional. At least the exit
status is non-zero :-)
