But the above won't work for -O/dev/stdout, when stdout is a pipe.
An even better solution would be to simply keep writing to the same

* Add option to clobber existing file names (no `.N' suffixes).
* Introduce a concept of "boolean" options. For instance, every
boolean option `--foo' would have a `--no-foo' equivalent for
turning it off. Get rid of `--foo=no' stuff. Short options would
be handled as `-x' vs. `-nx'.
* Introduce real "boolean" options. Every `--foo' setting should have
a corresponding `--no-foo' that turns off. This is useful even for
options turned off by default, because the default can be reversed
in `.wgetrc'. Get rid of `--foo=no'. Short options would be
handled as `-x' vs. `-nx'.
* Add option to only list wildcard matches without doing the download.
* Add case-insensitivity as an option.
* Handle MIME types correctly. There should be an option to (not)
retrieve files based on MIME types, e.g. `--accept-types=image/*'.
* Implement "persistent" retrieving. In "persistent" mode Wget should
treat most of the errors as transient.
* Allow time-stamping by arbitrary date.
* Allow size limit to files (perhaps with an option to download oversize files
