Feedback wanted: bold headers?

Hi,

I've put together a little proof of concept PR that shows how curl can output
HTTP headers using bold font style for the name parts when the output is sent
to the terminal. Personally I think it helps making the headers easier to
read.

What do you think? Is this a good idea to forward on, should I polish it
further? Do we need cutomizable colors/styles? Do we risk any backlash if we
enable this styled output by default?

I presume we need an option to all users to explicitly turn it on/off, but I
haven't made any such yet.

The PR is here:
