When the user says, I don’t want color; is color emitted? If so, that’s a bug, and needs to be fixed. If the user can, then, dejagnu can. When it says, don’t use color, that should be respected; just as if the user had said it. Anyway, a | decolor more a la prune should be able to remove color, even if there were no other way. I’m not a fan of the changes as is.
