//@ ### ShellString.prototype.to(file)
//@
//@ Examples:
//@
//@ ```javascript
//@ cat('input.txt').to('output.txt');
//@ ```
//@
//@ Analogous to the redirection operator `>` in Unix, but works with
//@ ShellStrings (such as those returned by `cat`, `grep`, etc). _Like Unix
//@ redirections, `to()` will overwrite any existing file!_
