Also, <setaf> is wrong for dark gray. It assumes dim is mapped to dark
gray, but tput reset and tput oc do not enforce this, and .e.g Ubuntu
defaults to a different mapping (cyan?) for this attribute. Worse, in some
console drivers (fbcon?) the "dim" and "underline" attribute color mappings
are conflated. In others (e.g. vga) they are separated as documented in
console_codes(4).
The fix is to just use bright black for gray, which works reliably:
setaf=\E[3%p1%{8}%m%d%?%p1%{7}%>%t;1%e;21%;m,
