Can you explain here and in the commit message why %(colornext) is not
compatible with %(padright:)? Is it an implementation limitation, or a
syntax or semantic limitation, or what? Can the implementation be
fixed to make it compatible or does it require a redesign?
Also, please explain here and in the commit message why this highly
specialized colorizer ('colornext'), is needed even though a more
general purpose one ('color') is already available.
