I prefer answers given on the command-line (with "more" if necessary)

- It's OK for titles (as in the listing of autocommands) to appear in
another colour;
- It's OK for the "xxx" of ":highlight" display to appear in the
concerned highlight group's colours.
- It's OK for the "More?" prompt, the "Hit-Enter" prompt and the
scroll menu (which are not part of the text) to appear in a distinct
colour.
So I agree with Bram that no special highlighting is needed for the
reply to the ":pwd" command (and friends). Even if the netrw directory
listing has subdirectories in a different colour (which is
commendable), I don't want that colour to carry over into the
command-line output of ":pwd".

If color would be set using highlighting group, would not it be possible
to turn in on and off according to your preferences?
