We could test if the variable is set first (test -n "${foo+set}"), at the cost of a bit more complexity. > I do not mind it so much as you have > it, but it does mean adding a new field needs to update two spots. I also don't like the duplicate list of color types, and I considered doing something similar to what you suggested, but I decided against it.
