Sounds like a very sensible design trade-off.

OK, $color used to be boolean between '' (unset included) and 't',
but now we do this after possibly processing the --no-color
argument, so this is guarded slightly differently from the original.

Makes sense.

Thanks.

This is a tangent but this patch shows 2 places out of the only
three places we use [ ... ] construct (as opposed to a more
traditionalist "test").  Perhaps we may want to fix them with a
follow-up patch?
