Everyone else has already made valid points.  I'm just picking this one
to reply to now.  Please remove the colors you have added.  If you need
a new function, say "eqawarn", we should have that added in the next
EAPI with a description of when and where to use it.  In the meantime,
Petteri proposed a nice solution awhile back that would centralize this
so it is not a one-off hack.  Here is a link to his original proposal:
