It's long seemed weird to me that one could force color off with the `-c`
option, but a document could blithely turn it back on again with impunity.
If the point of this feature is to avoid problems with monochrome output
devices, or to conserve color ink in printers, foreclosing the emission
color-related _grout_ commands would seem to serve the purpose better.
