We considered using colours and other markers such as bold text, but
that opens a considerable can of worms with detecting in all systems and
configurations if that can be done. I have been told that some of these
situations are quite tricky and is not as easy as checking for tty support.
If someone wants to contribute a way to detect reliably (in C) if the
terminal supports ANSI colours, I'm happy to consider switching to that
instead of the underlying.
I'll save some time - no such mechanism exists on Windows. There's no
reliable way to detect what's displaying console output, and while many
now support ANSI colours, we can't be assured of it.
Omitting the line of ^ where over x% (75%? 90%?) of characters on the
line would be marked would be fine by me.
Cheers,
