As a scheme it fails utterly on those old lunchbox computers that have orange

colorblind. But it could be an added option of some sort, early on; "Use
color emphisis (y) or text (n) or both (b):"
required() { if COLORPROMPT prompt GREEN $*
else if TEXTPROMPT prompt "REQUIRED" $*
else if COLORTEXTPROMPT prompt GREEN "REQUIRED" $*
else prompt $*
endif
endif
endif }
optional() { prompt YELLOW $* }
expert_only() { prompt RED $* }
(are only examples!)
I'm not too worried about any flavor of Linux being called effeminate;
somewhere in the lwn.net Tux collection is a Tux wearing a pink tutu. A
Linux user of any culture who's worried about being called effeminate is
probably wedded to using that other operating system anyway.

A simple solution is :
1. to introduce color as first parameter in the prompt()
2. create new functions, like:
required() { prompt GREEN $* }
optional() { prompt YELLOW $* }
expert_only() { prompt RED $* }
(are only examples!)
But a chromodynamics-Setup fall on the taste's land; someone can
find it irriting, or confusing, or too inusual. Finally, in the
Sicilia, Spain and in an unknown count of other latin countries,
a such muLinux will be simply classified as "effeminate" and
definitively unistalled :-) May we, Alfie, accept this risk?
