Sorry, I forgot those platforms... :-) Anyway, one could ask the
console what are its capabilities. It happens all the time on Unix
terminals... Text-only applications adapt their interface to the
capabilities of the terminal.

That could certainly be a problem (not a big one, IMHO)...
Anyway, I'd like to see at least a reversed mode (eg. white on
black instead of black on white).
