Summary: outputChannel incompatible with reflected channels

Initial Comment:
outputChannel mishandles the channel name passed to it.
 It only behaves as documented for stdout and stderr. 
If the channel name is anything else, it opens a file
of that same name.  This breaks any channel opened from
within the program, including reflected channels,
socket channels, and channels already connected to files.
