Any chance of getting support for pv?

That's not a bad idea; unfortunately pv's stderr will be block buffered
if redirected (and this is quite deep in glibc), so I'd have to look
into using pseudoterminals (which is much more complicated).
But it is something I have on my mind...

I'm also uncertain how to buffer everything through a pty when the program detects output (ie a pipe). Is there a commandline argument for that?

It would also be useful to have a parameter that could swap the colors for some encoded version; this would allow colorizing the output of individual commands and piping them through other scripts that might remove the color (ie, grep)
