ok, next question.
If that's the case, why don't we change our termcap so that "xterm" and
"xterm-color" are the same thing, and "xterm-mono" is there for people
who _reall_ don't want color, or have a monochrome display, or whatever.
It seems really dumb not to have colour by default, but perhaps there's
a good reason.
/me runs away for fear of annoying people by even daring to suggest this.
