That was exactly what I needed, thanks! Took all of two seconds to apply
and worked perfectly. I've updated the gist. The Python code could be
written more clearly, to make it explicit that the ANSI codes are
getting wrapped in zsh zero-width codes. Once I've given it some testing
and finished it off, I'll publish the script properly somewhere.
