Prompts have the reverse assumption, that everything is nonzero width
(needs counting) unless special syntax indicates otherwise. The
overhead of designating the width of every color element and checking
whether it is greater than zero doesn't seem worth it, given that
we're sharing color definitions with other standard apps like "ls" and
none of THOSE support nonzero-width colors.
