Thanks for the suggesion
Personally I think that's reasonable: however I was also being cautious in the sense
of making it easy for people to opt out of the color prompt.
Also it is not really pollution: PROMPT_COLOUR is actually used for each prompt and in
theory it could be changed dynamically (maybe by PROMPT_COMMAND etc, shrug?).
But if there is broad consensus wouldn't mind I guess.
Both Debian/Ubuntu and SUSE distributions color the prompt for
different purposes:
* Debian/Ubuntu colors the normal user prompt and leave the root user
prompt alone
* SUSE colors the root user prompt and leaves the normal user prompt alone
I actually would prefer that we color both, and make it obvious that
"root" is special. We should account for common color-blindness
issues, though.
