??? What's wrong with /dev/stdout (as long as you are on a Posix
system)? As in
(append-to-file "Hi, there!\n" nil "/dev/stdout")

'message' is just a thin wrapper around format-message, which I don't
see being rewritten in Lisp any time soon.
In any case, if you want more flexibility in the available
destinations, the way to achieve that is by adding new kinds of
streams, so that all the print functions could benefit from that, not
just 'message'.
