--- Comment #3 from Adam D. Ruppe <destructiona...@gmail.com> --- It's just more configuration that has to be coded, tested, documented, and actually used by the end user. Whereas knowing how to fix up your terminal palette will just work across all programs. I remain of the opinion that this syntax highlighting is a mistake anyway, even if the implementation was free (which it isn't): it adds nothing of value and has an opportunity cost of watering down the potential of using careful color output in some other way later, but if it is here, even if it is configurable, the default has to be reasonable in 99% of cases since only 1% are likely to even be aware of such an option, much less actually set it. So I'm not against adding the option per se, but I do caution against using the option to paper over the deficiencies of the default. --
