T::E attribute mess
=for comment
This is messy. According to spec...
38;1
should yield bold, and it does in urxvt and vte, but not in xterm.
38;1;3;4;5;7
should yield bold + italic + underline + blink + reverse
which it does in urxvt and vte, but in xterm it yields italic +
underline + blink + reverse
ON THE OTHER HAND
38:5;1
38:5;1;2;3;4;5;6
yields attributes correctly in xterm, urxvt and vte.
HOWEVER
38;5;220
yields yellow text, and
38;5;220;5
yields yellow, blinking text, but
38:5;220;5
yields blinking non-colored text.
Ergo, no safe way of adding color and attributes in the same sequence,
so if we want to add bold, italic, underline and color index 220 to
input, we would have to do
38:5;1;3;7;38;5;220
