Isn’t progress reported on stderr?

  True, I think my phrasing/usage of terms was incorrect. I think my usage of "TTY" was incorrect. What I was thinking of is, a user invoking a script interactively which happens to call a tool (like CURL) may not want to see curl's big progress song and dance for every HTTP call the script makes, though a user invoking `curl` literally, would likely appreciate it. But I think in both cases curl sees a TTY, right? Oops. You imply a great point that at least doing `2>/dev/null` in those scripts is at least consistent, and I just need to make a better habit of doing so.
