It's also the case that a lot of modern CLI tools will absolutely ignore your termcap and your $TERM env var and barf out whatever extension to ANSI is used by the currently most popular terminal emulators.

Unless it's a TUI app that I'm going to spend a lot of time in (e.g., Emacs), I do not want it theming itself. I want it to look at my termcap to see if it has ANSI color support, and if it does, then emit ANSI color codes. I use base16-shell to set my terminal colors and I want CLI and TUI apps to respect them.
