remote debugging debugger.redirect = "c" does only capture print, but not io.write or io.stdout:write

I'm struggling with capturing output. Running ZBS on a linux or Windows host (should not matter) There I have debugger.redirect = "c" in .zbstudio/user.lua set.

Doing Remote debug on an arm device basically using code sililar to this

    local script={}
    push(script,sprintf("arg={[0]=%q}",filename))
    push(script,sprintf('require("mobdebug").loop("%s")',ZBSHOSTNAME))
    local cmd=sprintf("/usr/bin/luajit -e'%s'&",join(script,';'))
    remote_execute(cmd)

(where push=table.insert, join=table.concat and sprintf=string.format)

Now, when debugging remote, I can see output of print("using print") in ZBS Output window, but I cannot see io.write('using io.write()\n') or io.stdout:write('using io.stdout:write()\n')

Is this an incompleteness in mobdebug? Any chance for a quick fix or workaround?

It's mostly by design, as io.write and io.stdout:write are used less frequently and I wanted to have an alternative for some output to not be redirected. In terms of the workaround, you can probably apply the same logic to io.write as is applied to print (it's in mobdebug.lua on lines 1006-1020). This code intercepts the print call and sends its content back to the IDE. Another option is to assign io.write based on print in your code after require "mobdebug".start() is executed.
