Perhaps what we should do is simply document that %B %U %S %F{} are
not guaranteed to nest.  For example:

print -P '%F{red} red %F{blue} blue %f oops, not red %f'

Then people know that they might need to write
%U%Bbold-underline%b%Uunderline%u if that's what they mean (but they
might not get the underline in bold-underline because %B might reset
it).

Or just use $fg et al. from colors; so what if it's a bit verbose?
How often are you re-typing it?
