My intent was to go with something like "set style mumble underline on"
-- that is, let each attribute be specified individually.  The main
advantage of this is that completion comes automatically.

I don't care a whole lot about the spelling, though, and it would be
fine if someone wanted to implement it some other way; the existing
command could be deprecated but kept around.

Supporting 24-bit color, I guess via hex(?), would also be nice.
I'm not sure if I will get around to this or not, but I welcome patches.

Feel free to file bugs for things like this.
