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.

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. Tom
