> IIRC, ANSI is somewhat incompatible with sending random binary gibberish to the screen, as people accidentally do with TYPE sometimes :) But the random binary gibberish may contain ANSI control sequences... That's why I'm negative on making it a default.
I don't actually know how big a deal this would be. I seem to get identical results from "print(''.join(chr(x) for x in range(32)))" both with and without the VT100 flag set, though of course "print('\033[91m')" behaves differently.
But given "on by default" isn't popular, and "off by default" implies adding new public API that is already available either as a short ctypes snippet or a number of 3rd-party libraries, I think we should consider this rejected.
