Comment (by Roland Haas):

On second thought, I think the only change to defaults I would like to push for myself would be to make

Cactus::highlight_warning_messages = no

the default since it removes control characters from log files. Typically highlight_warning_messagesonly makes sense if Cactus’ log goes directly to a terminal since (by default) less or more will not interpret the control characters.
