Comment (by jsiwek):

 > I'll try and get it finished today.  I'm a little unsure how to handle
 it because the code in the core prints to stderr already.  Should I just
 make the core printing cease if the reporter events are being handled?

 That might be weird in the case where a user doesn't want to use the
 provided reporter framework, but still wants to use their own reporter
 event handlers for other purposes, they'd have to re-implement the script
 level stderr output on their own if they want it.  Probably not a common
 case, but maybe it's better to just make the core do the stderr output,
 but still keep the script level options that can toggle whether to do it
 or not?
