RGB colors do everything index colors can do, get rid of them, they are more 
useless than you say reverse/italic/underline are (nano's default UI uses 
A_REVERSE). Require a named color after every RGB value, get rid of the 8/16 
color lookup tables. The code would much smaller and all colors would be 
portable.
