tee works for how it's being used for here; it's just wired into my
brain for tasks other than writing to files with different privileges.
I ended up with a similar invocation when I was solving a similar
problem a couple of months ago (not sure how I'd not hit it before then)
and kept searching for something more natural.

I've just done a search and using tee here appears to be somewhat
standard, so I guess that answers my question.  Sorry for the noise!
