I was also thinking cli could take advantage of TERM. In ESS under x11 and on
the terminal I seem to see

so I guess ESS (or Emacs?) overrides because I otherwise settled on TERM and
BYOBY_TERM as screen-256color which is decent setting for Nord.

Back to rlang and cli messing up sessions they maybe should leave alone:
would the team consider not asking the user to set NO_COLOR and rather
inspect the terminal info and refraining from damaging working setups?

Best, Dirk
