Frequently, the usage of whiptail in command substitutions and in particular on how the file descriptors need to be redirected to achieve a user interaction with the submitted output in a bash variable is explained incorrectly. This can lead to functional breakages of user code in unexpected ways, for example if stderr is redirected into a file the script just hangs. This commit introduces documentation for this use case to the man page.
