informative and decorative text generated by printf should be printed to standard error (>&2) instead of standard output (​)

Reopening. This issue was not fixed by #22, which sent errors – but not non‑failing informational – to /dev/null.

the fix should have been:

printf -- '𝑥\n' >&2

instead of:

printf -- '𝑥\n' 2>/dev/null
