Perhaps that's be a direction this could take? What would
it take for this feature to be a demo/example for some future
modules system.

It seems like there have been a few recent features related
to decorating output (UTF8 tables, YAML explain, \d... updates).

While there's no great way to make this a contrib module today,
would it make sense to add such hooks for an eventual module system?
