            Bug ID: 5477
           Summary: allow setting indirect colors / color "aliases"
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: default branch
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: color
          Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: h...@pewpew.net
                CC: mercurial-de...@selenic.com

It would be nice to be able to compose an 'indirect' color or a 'conceptual'
color out of other colors / codes, and refer to that instead of repeating the
raw stuff all the time.

Currently, color.foo only accepts integers.  We can't do something like
color.brightblack = bold black, and then use 'brightblack' elsewhere in our
color settings, letting people override 'color.brightblack = 8' if they have a
terminal that treats bold as bold-and-not-high-intensity (like Terminal.app),
or a terminal that swaps 30 and 37 if it's run with -rv to get a white
background.
