Michael Blasnik and Maarten Buis have already supported
my earlier suggestion that you create a string version
of your identifier.
In terms of the specific problem below, -capture- alone
is going to eat all output, including but not only errors.
-capture noisily- may be what you are looking for.

I tried putting capture in front of the bigtab command, but that oddly
resulted in no output whatsoever, even when there were known errors that
should have printed.
