Hello, I would like to submit a feature request/suggestion on Bash. (I
was told submitting to this mailing list was the right way to do it.)
Feature request: Enable possibility of colored stderr output.
It would be really neat to have functionality that stderr could be
output in a different color compared to stdout. It could be argued that
this feature would improve readability of terminal output by
differentiating stdout and stderr through colorization.
Below are links to some discussions/articles on stderr colorization, I
include them as examples of the interest/demand for this functionality:
