color: add support for terminfo-based attributes and color Using terminfo instead of hard-coding ECMA-48 control sequences provides a greater assurance that the terminal codes are correct for the current terminal type; not everything supports the ANSI escape codes. It also allows us to use a wider range of colors when a terminal emulator supports it (such as 16- or 256-color xterm), and a few more non-color attributes, such as the ever-popular blink.
