Yes.

I think we're looking at different parts of the output. Diagnostic text and 
underlines are always colored for me, regardless of what options I pass. AST 
dump output only gets controlled by this new flag, which is different from how 
it works in clang-tidy, where `--use-color=0` will disable colors from 
diagnostic text output as well.

So I think there are two issues: 1) This isn't controlling all of the colors, 
2) The default on/off value is no longer tied to whether the output is able to 
display colors.
