So.. If --skip=10 is used, and there's 7 lines of output on stderr, the first
3 lines of stdout are skipped?

Why not just keep "--skiplines" as-is, and introduce --skip-stderr and
--skip-stdout, which would solve the same problem in a more intuitive way,
not break backwards-compatibility *and* provide a finer granularity.

When specified without options, they should skip ALL output on the targeted
fd.
