I've thought about this one suggestion some more, and it makes sense actually. A new question would then be: should it be eventually be possible to disable it using the same GREP_COLORS capability as for SGR_END, or should it have its own capability for that? If the disable-capability is shared, I'll have to rework some of patch #3644.
