If you execute the command over the SB API (SBCommandInterpreter::HandleCommand) then it will go into the provided result object. Also, some clients (typically IDEs) use SetInput/Output/ErrorFileHandle to set what is considered to be the default input/output streams for a given debugger instance (typically, to redirect these to some console window).

I don't think this directly precludes colored output, although it may require a bit more plumbing to pass the information whether the final consumer is willing to accept color escape codes. (We can already get that via `StreamFile->GetFile().GetIsTerminalWithColors()`, so you would just need to somehow pass this information to the proxy raw_ostream you give to the clang dump function.)
