Have option to dump hook output into new buffer

Instead of just executing silently all the time. Sometimes you want to see the output of the hook script. It'd be cool if it put it in a new buffer and then put the cursor back to the window you were previously in so you could just execute :w and watch this new buffer update.

:help :silent

:sil[ent][!] {command}  Execute {command} silently.  Normal messages will not
            be given or added to the message history.
            When [!] is added, error messages will also be
            skipped, and commands and mappings will not be aborted
            when an error is detected.  |v:errmsg| is still set.
            When [!] is not used, an error message will cause
            further messages to be displayed normally.
            Redirection, started with |:redir|, will continue as
            usual, although there might be small differences.
            This will allow redirecting the output of a command
            without seeing it on the screen.  Example: >
                :redir >/tmp/foobar
                :silent g/Aap/p
                :redir END
<           To execute a Normal mode command silently, use the
            |:normal| command.  For example, to search for a
            string without messages: >
                :silent exe "normal /path\<CR>"
<           ":silent!" is useful to execute a command that may
            fail, but the failure is to be ignored.  Example: >
                :let v:errmsg = ""
                :silent! /^begin
                :if v:errmsg != ""
                : ... pattern was not found
<           ":silent" will also avoid the hit-enter prompt.  When
            using this for an external command, this may cause the
            screen to be messed up.  Use |CTRL-L| to clean it up
            then.
            ":silent menu ..." defines a menu that will not echo a
            Command-line command.  The command will still produce
            messages though.  Use ":silent" in the command itself
            to avoid that: ":silent menu .... :silent command".
