Thanks. So that implicitly uses STDOUT for the output?

Have you guys (BioPerl) have also gone for "fastq-sanger" instead of
just "fastq" for the Sanger Standard version of FASTQ (like EMBOSS)?
Does BioPerl use just "fastq" to mean anything?

If BioPerl and EMBOSS are using "fastq-sanger", I think Biopython will
have to support that as an alias too:
