Yes. But it already now disables itself if the output is not a terminal, just
so piping the output into something else shouldn't need any special flags.

I'm thinking about leaving the default to auto-sense and adding a
--no-styled-output flag that disables it unconditionally. My still considering
if --styled-output should enable bold headers unconditionally or just enable
the auto-sense mode...

The Windows command prompt doesn't apparently. But as was mentioned in the PR,
I'm curious if we should determine that in run-time rather than just disabling
styled output completely from the Windows executable...
