Subject: [PATCH] Hardcode printing of "flowtext" warning to stderr Third-party
 applications obviously can not handle additional output on stdout nor can
 they be expected to do any weird stdout/sterr redirection as we do via
 `options.stdout` We probably shouldn't print anything in `scourString()` to
 start with unless we offer an option to disable all non-SVG output for
 third-party libraries to use.
