This feature was introduced because on the Linux console the comment
face was hard to read (red on black). But this feature also applies to
the 8 color xterm with a white background, which nobody complained
about! The comment face is quite readable on such a terminal. The face
was changed in that case for no reason.
So can we please switch the 8 color light background case back to
normal?
Stefan and Yidong, what do you think?
