Actually, I prefer the current behavior.  If for some reason my terminal gets into a 
strange mode where the color of the text is changed and difficult to read, all I need 
to do is run an 'ls' command, and the colors will be restored to normal.

I can see where these extra characters might be a concern back in the day when we were 
all using 300 baud modems, but in today's high-speed environments, are these extract 
escape sequences really hurting anything?
