Description

@carbolymer

As a result of #5016 , one can use stdout and stdin as output and input streams respectively using - as a CLI file name argument. This gets handled in code as Maybe FilePath which is not very intuitive to use.

The goal of this issue is to replace Maybe FilePath with a datatype unifying handling of stdout /stderr and regular files.
