Is this actually the case code-wise, though? Because generally speaking
this could just be to check whether we should use table-output or colors
etc (though we don't have colors... but anyway, we might just want to
know what stdout is and then still use println!() ...)?
But I don't mind deprecating them on the grounds of them being quite
trivial now.
