This does what I want: 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 
_tee_stderr () 
{ 
     <<'____eohd'
    SYNOPSIS

        ourname

    DESCRIPTION

        Use in a pipe. Leaks STDIN to STDERR. Passes STDIN to STDOUT unchanged.

    EXAMPLE

        $ seq 5 |_tee_stderr |tail -2 > /tmp/bar ; echo;cat  /tmp/bar
        1
        2
        3
        4
        5

        4
        5

____eohd

    ( tmpf=$( mktemp ~/tmp/$FUNCNAME.XXX );
    cat > $tmpf;
    cat $tmpf 1>&2;
    cat $tmpf;
    rm -f $tmpf );
    return;
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 

What is better/cleaner?
