Hi all,

For the group's consideration.

[bf]g_bold for both <color> and <bright-color> produces  the same result.
  bold with the same "intensity" for both <color> or <bright-color>

I assume this is just the way ansi works.  There is a way of producing two
intensities.
This can be done by adding "faint"(02) to the ansi code to either <color> or
<bright-color>.

If this is something that the group feels could/should be done the following
patch to colors can produce two intensities.
