And for why, vt100 is more likely to work than anything else that could
be picked aside from "dumb" - including for serial consoles (not everyone

And also, most apps that use colours (terminal colours, where the supported
choices are usually quite limited) are *ugly* and having them supressed
is no loss at all!
