An option to redirect to stdout isn't a bad idea. Shane's situation is probably quite common though. You just want to run something quick and display it to the user. In that case, Shane, would not having color and AT anymore really impact how you display info to the user.
If you're just wanting to display something quick you can always just print a line and let them know what's happening. Most times I've seen color and AT used, though, it's some quite elaborate contraption to display a lot of data to the user through some sort of organized list.
***************************
* username: blah *
* domain: blah... *
***************************
etc...
Those were really the types of cases I was referring to. But for the quick one-liner, would not having color and AT be a burden?
