libtmux::Pane::pipe_to(command: std::string_view) -> expected< void, CommandFailure >
```

Copy everything this pane prints to a shell command, until told to stop.

The command runs on the tmux server's machine with the pane's output on its standard input.

Starting a second pipe replaces the first: tmux keeps one per pane, so there is nothing to close and nothing to leak.
