The vanilla interpreter could be updated to recognize when it is running on a similated 35-year-old terminal that implements ansi-vt100 color codes rather than a similated 40+-year-old black-and-white teletype-like terminal.
This is what is called "scope creep", although in this case perhaps "scope gallop" is more appropriate *wink* [...]
Also: people paste tracebacks into issue reports, so all information has to survive copy-pasting.
The first ANSI standard supported underlined text, didn't it? The VT100 did. That would make it part of the 40+ year old subset from the late 70's. While color might stand out more, underline suits the problem well, also without increasing the line count. There are a number of terminal emulators that support rich text copies, but not all of them. This is added information however, so it not being copy-pastable everywhere shouldn't be a blocking requirement imho. -Mike
