Ah, I see. I agree it's not the prettiest thing, but it's still in 80

script).

Is it? I couldn't find anything but red and green ever being used since
2012 when the file was added.

API. I don't see how maybe_colored('magenta', ...) is different in that
respect or more likely than print(Colors.MAGENTA + ...) previously.
