The vanilla interpreter could be updated to recognize when it is running

This is what is called "scope creep", although in this case
perhaps "scope gallop" is more appropriate *wink*

Also: people paste tracebacks into issue reports, so all information has
to survive copy-pasting.
The first ANSI standard supported underlined text, didn't it? The VT100 did.
That would make it part of the 40+ year old subset from the late 70's.
While color might stand out more, underline suits the problem well, also without
increasing the line count.
There are a number of terminal emulators that support rich text copies, but not
all of them. This is added information however, so it not being copy-pastable
everywhere shouldn't be a blocking requirement imho.
