I mean after I (finally) integrate the terminfo support patch. Before then, I suspect it's a bad idea to remove the `-t` option and the conditionals it controls, because some terminals support SGR 30-37 and 40-47 escape sequences, some support SGR 38 and 48 (which your patch makes grotty capable of emitting), and some support neither. ECMA-48 devices are supposed to gracefully ignore well-formed escape sequences they don't support, but of course some don't do that, either, and barf valid but unsupported escape sequences to the display's character cells.
