Does it support multiple escape sequences?

The 16/256/RGB-color sequence is a bit _odd_ in that it consists of
three parameters (e.g. \e[38;5;72m for color72) and generally cannot be
mixed with other sequences. (Some terminals allow this, others forbid,
particularly mosh [1].)

I guess right now 'alert 38;5;16m\e[48;5;202' would work, but it just
doesn't feel right.
