Re: run-command: output owner picking strategy

I choose "as much live output" as an approximation of "least amount buffered

I am not sure if that is ultimate thing to optimize for though.

It might be interesting to optimize to minimize the time the user
needs to stare an inactive screen, i.e. make sure there always is
something flowing.  That may involve throttling the output from a
buffer if that is the only buffer with any output, the foreground
thing hasn't made any output yet, and expected to stay silent for a
while, etc.
