11 Well stop it. You're cluttering up your eclass with pointless junk
12 under the mistaken impression that more complicated eclasses are
13 better. If you have a desperate need for a coloured output that isn't
14 doable using the existing e* functions, make your case for either a new
15 EAPI or for a special, dedicated eclass.

17 Besides, if you're not communicating anything for users, why have it
18 there?
