Could a specific option for background ANSI tranparency be added?

I understand that Textual prefers to not use ANSI colors to favor consistency across platforms, but an ansi_colors option does already exist for allowing ANSI colors, so why couldn't a transparent background color be achieved with a similar method?

I can imagine this would be nice for people who do use transparent terminals and it shouldn't really affect usability, mainly because this would only affect the background and only be enabled by the developer of each specific app; users who don't have transparent terminals would hardly even notice the difference (or so I imagine).

There is no transparent background colour. But some terminals make the default background transparent. In Textual you can see the background to be "ansi_default".

Yes, I was experimenting just now and realized that a transparent background can in fact be achieved with the current option for ANSI. Thanks!
