Ok, my pitch is that makes maintenance easier. The code for doing
the ANSI code markup is about the same size as the code that
for highlighting, and, because it is more general its much better :)

(And I think the ANSI code is easier to understand than then 
highlight bode, but I guess that is a matter of opinion.)

Ok, the reason I want it, is that I have various scripts that
pop-up stuff in the rp bar, and having them a different colour 
to normal rp stuff so it grabs my attention.
