Thank you for your contribution.
Could you please elaborate on the use case(s) that could benefit from
this change?
Also, using overlays would mean that copying the text elsewhere will
reveal the SGR sequences, is that intended? If not, perhaps using
text properties would be better?
Did you consider using some non-trivial invisibility spec instead of
just t? It's hard to say if this would make sense without knowing the
use cases you had in mind.
The commit log message is not formatted according to our conventions;
see CONTRIBUTE in the Emacs sources for the details.
Finally, these changes are too large for us to accept them without a
copyright assignment. Would you like to start the legal paperwork to
that end? If so, I will send you the form to fill.
Thanks again for your interest in Emacs.

Hi,
> Could you please elaborate on the use case(s) that could benefit from
> this change?
My use case is when running shell code in org-babel and capturing the resulting output. I can get it to interpret the ANSI sequences, but when I save the org buffer, the ANSI information would get lost.
This is actually what I'm trying to do: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/35364/how-do-i-attach-a-custom-function-to-process-org-mode-babel-shell-output
> Also, using overlays would mean that copying the text elsewhere will

So far I haven't had a need for that. Also, since the rest of the code uses overlays, would it be OK to mix text properties and overlays?

I didn't think of it. But I can see now that a keyword argument would allow for different behaviors:
- nil - delete the sequences (default)
- 'invisible - invisible overlay over the sequences
- 'keep - don't delete the sequences
I will rework the patch to allow that.

Thanks. I will look at it.

Yes, please, send me the form.

Thank you for the fast review!

This was almost a year ago.
Looking at the copyright assignment list, I can't find Pablo
Barbachano. Was this abandoned?

My records indicate that the FSF copyright clerk sent the printed
assignment to Pablo for signing in Nov 2019, but I have no further
correspondence on that. Pablo, did you sign and return the paperwork
to the FSF?

This was five weeks ago, and there was no response, so I'm closing this
bug report. If progress can be made, please respond to the debbugs mail
address, and we'll reopen the bug report.
