The attributes are supported with conio. But accessing them via ecma-48/ansi 
sequences isn't.

Bash 2.04 supports them, but that support isn't in libc. The encodings it 
uses aren't cygwin/linux compatible, so it's not worth adding them. After 
termcap, I plan to work on adding extended keys support w/ compatible 
encodings unless someone else wants to do it.
