enter/exit sounds better than my suggestion. Another option: on/off. I
haven't thought of it earlier but now I think it pretty good.

Shall I send a patch? I'd love to have this feature.

A related question. Would you (zsh elders) be receptive to my adding
percent escapes for italicized (%A and %a) and inverse video (%R and
%r) mode? %S and %s would stay unchanged.
