+L<Test::Leaner> also provides some functions of its own, which are never exported.

+=head2 C<tap_stream [ $fh ]>
+
+Read/write accessor for the filehandle to which the tests are outputted.
+On write, it also turns autoflush on onto C<$fh>.
+
+Note that it can only be used as a write accessor before you start any thread, as L<threads::shared> cannot reliably share filehandles.
+
+Defaults to C<STDOUT>.

+Read/write accessor for the filehandle to which the diagnostics are printed.
