Previously, DDTTYLogger would check on startup if stderr was mapped to a known tty. If not, it would cease operations indefinitely. However, the known tty check wasn't always correct, and it didn't support remappings of stderr. Thus, this "internal optimization" has been removed in favor of allowing the developer to properly optimize externally. That is, one can easily not enable DDTTYLogger for release mode if unneeded.
