Disabling ANSI color output

At least most software has the decency of checking that stdout is a terminal before colorizing output, so I just pipe to cat. I suppose this is a borderline case[0].

`TERM=vt100` or `TERM=dumb` used to work most of the time, but unfortunately piping through `cat` is increasingly necessary.
