I eyeballed the test output of "pu". I do think this resolves all of the
issues brought up before, and I really hate to bikeshed on the colors at
this point, but I find that bold cyan a bit hard on the eyes when
running with "-v" (where most of the output is in that color, as it
dumps the shell for each test).  Is there any reason not to tone it down
a bit like:

diff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh
index 256f1c6..31f59af 100644
