: And
: I'm not falling for the but-my-terminal-is-100-years-old-and-doesn't-
: render-these-things-correctly argument.

fortunately the argument i'm making is that my terminal is set up how
i prefer it -- not that it can't do colors -- and i dislike having
default PS1 and LS_COLORS that completely disappear on my display.  if i 
wanted to squint, i'd use smaller type.

also exacerbating today's hate was the documentation that went on and on 
about how fantabulous colors are and how to tweak them in many ways, 
without simply and forthrightly telling one how to disable them.
There's stuff above here
