Thanks! I had not noticed the heading.

When setting t_Co to 0 or 1, I am indeed able to get the effects I
want using 'start=' and 'stop='. I'll see if I can change my whole
colorscheme to work with terminal codes only, and if that works out,
I might write and release a plugin.

Sorry for the double post by the way.
