This work was done against APIs that were already changed in the branch
before work began, and so it doesn't apply to the v0.12 development work.
To allow v0.12 to merge down to master, we'll revert this work out for now
and then re-introduce equivalent functionality in later commits that works
against the new APIs.
This is a bit of a hack to support the `-no-color` flag while we don’t have an option to set run variables.
That is also the reason why the orginal method is commented out instead of deleted. This will be reverted when the TFE starts supporting run variables.
