OK, also one point more in favor of not redirecting everything: the report
contains the logs of the code under tests, which breaks the CSV syntax for
example. So IMHO it would be better if the --output option just meant
"report file" with only JMH output. As you said, users can use shell
redirections if they want to redirect everything.
