Sorry; in my previous e-mail there was a wraparound induced by the e-mail composer. This one is hopefully better:
$ echo "                                                                               "| grep --color=always '[1-9]'

> python2 -c 'print " " * 80, 1234' | grep --color=auto '[1-9]'
This one does work for a standard 80-char-wide (u)xterm.
