Yes, we could do something like (obviously psuedo-code):

    if (termcap("md") == "\e[1m")
       emit("\e[22m")

but then what is the "else"?  emit(termcap("me")) like we do now?  Does
that really help anybody who wants to write a portable prompt string?

I suspect "consist" here is better than "often correct".
