Re: stdin/stderr/stdout/stdoutStderr: fileLocation or physicalLocation

I think these could be fileLocations, and I would not object to the 
change.  There are scenarios where having a region might be useful, but 
I do not think they would occur in practice.  For instance, process 1 
writes stdout to a log file, then process 2 appends output to the same 
log file.
