Aha! That was in my github issue search results but I didn't look at that
one because there were so many other hits with more promising subject
lines. And while there are ANSI X3.64 sequences for setting the background
color they don't appear to be widely supported or incompletely supported.
For example, on iTerm2 it does change the background but only for new lines
and only until a SGR reset is performed so it's not really useful.
