Use std.io.tty for colours #36

Closed PauloCampana closed 4 months ago

PauloCampana commented 4 months ago

Instead of writing ANSI escape codes, still obeys --disable_color and --force_color

pros:

uses windows api to set colours when ansi escapes not supported
.blue is clearer than "\x1b[34m" cons:
not all escape codes supported, but all currently used ones are

Maybe .bright_black should be changed to .dim instead? Should failure of changing colour result in error logging and program termination or be ignored?

@PauloCampana I messed something up in the merging process, would you be able to recreate the pr?
