If the `Stream` specified at construction was `e_STDOUT_STREAM`, redirect `stdout` to a temporary file. If the `Stream` specified at construction was `e_STDERR_STREAM`, redirect `stderr` to a temporary file. The temporary file to which the stream is redirected will be created the first time `enable` is called, and will be deleted when this object is destroyed. If `enable` fails to redirect either `stdout` or `stderr` it will end the program by calling `std::abort`.
