I like this patch, because it clarifies what get_colorbool() and
get_color() functions are meant to do by moving the boundary of
responsibility between the two callers and these two functions.

The above log message does not do justice to the patch text.

I like a patch that results in code reduction, so I got quite interested
in seeing what you did.  But there was no magic --- you lost a lot of
comments on what each function is supposed to do.

They are all described in the documentation, and removal of these comments
that can go stale is probably a good thing, but you could have avoided
dissapointing me who expected a magic by mentioning the removal of the
comments (and why it is a good idea) upfront ;-)
