Conversation
This is noted as a breaking change, though it will actually only affect new installs. Rationale: we are the fancy MySQL client. Let's use the fancy format. In 2026, terminals have Unicode support. The test myclirc file remains set to "ascii" to avoid changing many tests. Preparation for release 2.0.
