It would be nice if special characters in a 'select' list could be escaped
by \[ and \], like in a prompt string. Presently, if a word in the list
contains special characters (e.g., '^[[42m;aha^[[0m;'), the formatting of
the list gets messed up.
COLUMNS=50
select a in "^[[42maha^[[0m" one two three; do : ; done
1) aha 3) two
2) one 4) three
#?
(On a terminal, the first word has a green background).
Regards,
Bernd
