Yes, I think it's a bug if we add any such coloring that isn't configurable via the usual color.* configuration. Although in this case it's usage.c. So perhaps "color.usage" (as in usage.c). But that squats on any future hypothetical "git usage". So maybe "color.coreUsage" (a "color.core.usage" would squat on any future "color.core.usage.<slot>" (i.e. there's no 4-level keys)> > Making it opt-in is even better, but it is my personal taste. *nod*. I'll see how it turns out. FWIW I think that it's probably too over-colored to do: <RED>fatal: the message</RED> And it's probably better to just do: <RED>fatal</RED>: the message But I'll see once we have actual examples. The advice output is fully-colored now. I.e. "hint: message", not just the "hint" part...
