Correct, this is orthogonal to that.

And fwiw I'm trying to figure out how to resurrect the CLied code the NeXT
port used so the "I ran color ls in /afs" problem can be somewhat worked

a step in the right direction. I'll have some of the same issues as I
brought up, namely, how do you configure it?
