thanks, i like that

any terminal that reports 88/256 colours and uses the tested sequences
for those colours should work. maybe something like this?

  88:  xterm-88color  rxvt-88color  rxvt-unicode
  256: xterm-256color rxvt-256color

macos doesn't need the rxvt ones, but i note that it has -88color and
not -unicode, so maybe there's some other system that wants that

all of the other terms with *-256color in the name, along with kitty,
alacritty, etc, seem to work as well, but i assume xterm-256color is
more widely available
