How does one redirect just stderr under the C Shell?

Quoting myself...
: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.  

As has been pointed out to me in mail, no, that shouldn't work.
(All I can say is that I'm one who doesn't have such a feature.)

There is, however, one tried and true way to do this:  :-)

    sh -c "cmd 2>cmd.err"
