For most stuff we have now, it seems the implementation burden for
coloring output falls squarely in the color extension. If that's a
valid assumption, then it makes much more sense to me to have color
"support" shelve than for shelve to "request" color. Brodie might have
a different idea though, so I'd like to know what he thinks. (And I
think either way could use an extension hooking mechanism.)
