How does one redirect just stderr under the C Shell?

:*BUT* after all these years I still can't figure out how to redirect
:*just* stderr independently of stdout under the C Shell.

:I'm at a loss under the C Shell.

In general, it can't be done.  

Now, I'm sure someone will suggest

    ( foo > foo.stdout ) >& foo.stderr

but that's not right: stdout is mangled.   Someone else
will suggest

    ( foo > /dev/tty ) >& foo.stderr

but that's not right, as stdout is no longer going where it
had been going.  

If your system should support /dev/fd pseudo-devices, this 
ought to work:

    ( foo > /dev/stdout ) >& foo.stderr

But few of us have that feature on our systems.
