Stderror output colorize #139

Allow to specify color for std error stream output, and toggle that
colorizing at runtime.

I'm aware that there are plenty of workarounds to get that in bash, but it
would be nice to have such a feature out of the box.

Not possible, because terminals don't know what file descriptor output was 
written
to, they only see one stream of characters coming in. So yes, this has to be
implemented at the shell level.
