Fine, if you really want to be punctilious: "%F{red}" =>
"\001\e[31m\002", and "%F{$color_name}" =>
"\001\e[${color_code}m\002".

I don't see what this has to do with the patch.

Anyway, since I haven't seen any comments regarding the actual code of
the patch I've resent it with the updated commit message.
