Definately... I think having the ability to specify colorsets as profiles
will be a must-have. Read the LSCOLORS description in ls(1).

- Does it meet style(9)?  I'm wondering about line lengths now.


One unfortunate thing about /bin/sh: [from the sh(1) manpage]

             Only one of the -e and -n options may be specified.

This means that we may not be able to use the -n to chain multiple echos on
one line...

Other than that, do we have general consensus that these do what they
