[Bug 42182] New: OUT: isn't supported (custom output device)

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42182

            Bug ID: 42182
           Summary: OUT: isn't supported (custom output device)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.8.1
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: cmd
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
          Reporter: kenorb(a)gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

On Windows, OUT: is the special device and doing:

    echo test > OUT

or:

    echo test > OUT:

would redirect this to output device (by default same as NUL).

On Wine, "OUT:" file is created.

This should work similar as for CON: (which works fine in Wine):

    echo test > CON

or:

    echo test > CON:

Tried implementing this, but CI testing against native Windows 10 shows that
modern Windows does not treat OUT / OUT: as a special device.

On Windows 10, echo foo > OUT creates a regular file named OUT: the same
behavior Wine already has. 
The OUT: device was a DOS-era convention that no longer applies to Windows NT.

Well, it is still valid in the 9x era, so the question is whether or not Wine
wants to support this.
