Interest in get_fgcolor() and get_bgcolor()?

[Stefan H. Holek]

Is the blessed project interested in including get_fgcolor() and get_bgcolor()?

The functions work exactly like get_location(), but instead of DSR 6 they emit OSC 10 & 11.¹

Pro

Together with a luminance² function, get_fgcolor() and get_bgcolor() could be used to tell light mode from dark mode palettes.

Contra

While OSC 10 & 11 are supported by xterm (and compatible terminals), and the documentation talks about "VT100 text foreground color", there is no guarantee things will work with dumber terminals.

Pull Request

The proposal is implemented in PR #237
