so i spent a dumb amount of time trying to figure this out, starting by trying to tweak the Dr. Gui method for detecting a redirected stdin, and finally settled on a pretty gritty solution -- Console.Clear() throws an exception if stdout is redirected.
bool consoleIsRedirected = false;
try
{
Console.Clear();
}
catch
{
consoleIsRedirected = true;
}
this has some obvious drawbacks that i don't even want to try to defend, but it works as a solution until the right one shows up.
