Thanks, I've never seen the (,) syntax documented before!

What's strange is that this works:
   %C(auto,green bold)
but
   %C(auto,green,bold)
does not.

Also: Given it's very rare to want only part of a string to emit colour codes, if something like "bold" carries through until a "no-bold", why doesn't "auto" do the same thing?
