Windows programs which emit (or use?) console ANSI escape sequences run from cmd
(which by default switches off Virtual Terminal ANSI Escape Sequence handling
for programs run from it) and which do not themselves set that console mode (or
can not because they were written for earlier Windows which does not support
that flag).
