I don't actually know how big a deal this would be. I seem to get identical
results from "print(''.join(chr(x) for x in range(32)))" both with and without
the VT100 flag set, though of course "print('\033[91m')" behaves differently.
But given "on by default" isn't popular, and "off by default" implies adding
new public API that is already available either as a short ctypes snippet or a
number of 3rd-party libraries, I think we should consider this rejected.
