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.

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 > claim?
