Tools in the GNU/Linux environment have a long history of hard coding
escape sequences. GNU ls is a good example. That doesn't mean it is the
correct thing to do. So far, I haven't heard a valid (or even any
argument at all) from you to change that. The Windows case is somewhat
different due to the cruft of the Windows console API...
