This is not going to be straightforward, but have a look at Test/comptest
in the sources, which does a similar thing. It forces completion listings
and then "colors" them with markup that can be parsed. The characters it
uses aren't actually non-printing, but if your app is going to grab the
listing on its way to the terminal anyway, perhaps it can also strip the
markup.
