We have a fairly straightforward workaround of using the "warnings" module
to redirect to stdout, so we personally don't have a need.

Unreal, however, follows the VFX Reference Platform (
https://vfxplatform.com/) which is migrating from 2.7 to 3.7.x this year.
They will likely run into this during their migration, so backporting to
3.7 would be useful.
