Thanks; somebody should have caught this before we applied and
merged to 'master', but the process obviously did not work well.
I am not too surprised. The use of numeric values for colors was
completely undocumented, and we did not have any test coverage for it. I
did not even know it existed until I started refactoring the function,
and wondered what was going on (though I did try to preserve it once I
found it).
I was specifically thinking about the failure of "eyeball test".
I often do "git am" followed by "git show -U20" to check the change
in context, which _should_ have caught the lack of return there.
