Right, but is it possible to solve that with terminfo or tput? If not,
it seems to me that the usual approach of providing two options --
ANSI escapes or nothing -- seems quite acceptable.

Let me rephrase the question.  Suppose I make `ls --color` use
terminfo, instead of hardcoded ANSI escapes.  Are there any
previously-unsupported terminals that could now display colors?  (It's
not a rethoric question, I'm genuinely curious.)
