To take this in an entirely different way from what you intended....

I have a program which is like cat except that certain strings
(specified on the command line) get replaced with
underscore-backspace-character sequences.  If the standard output is a
tty, it automagically pipes its output through ul to make it come out
in the appropriate standout mode for the terminal.
