There's already been an effort to support this by someone on IRC, whose name
I forget.

It will involve changing the tty and the grid to ensure the appropriate bit
sets are honoured, and to translate colours to degrade to 256 if the
terminal doesn't support it (colour.c) --- but note that I'm conscious of
the fact that you might be duplicating your effort here.
But since I cannot recall who the person is who has some hack-job on 24-bit
colour support, maybe not.
