Is that realistic?

Sure, text editors and viewers like vim or less can probably filter out terminal escape sequences, but should arbitrary programs printing (potentially user-supplied) strings to stdout have to?

Maybe terminal escape sequence processing should be opt-in (on a by-process/job level) rather than opt-out?
