I would love to see an option like --color which used terminal

  The script(1) command does not work on this level. It reads data

  able to distinguish between stdout and stderr.

Sound reasonable?
  Yes, but I don't see a way how to implement it.

I just realized...  it can be done by having two ptys, one for stdin/stdout, and another just for stderr.
