There was a feature a couple of us were hacking on a while back that would
allow for live switching between color and black&white modes. Is this sort
of stuff what you are speaking of? The changes were too invasive to be
included, but it was an interesting experiment.

No, GitHub (or any other git-compatible place that could interact with

If it is what I think you mean, it is not an often asked-for-feature, but
it has been discussed. It is a very difficult problem to tackle and
significant refactoring work would be needed to even begin to address it.
Note, however, such refactor work by itself would be extremely valuable.
Along with that work should also be efforts towards improved documentation,
code comments, examples and tests. This way, when as work is done, we can
make sure that nothing is breaking (or make breaks well documented).

Nope, more like re-drawing the wheel. The wheel itself has yet to be made
to everyone's satisfaction.
