So, would this sort of thing make it in?
I don't know, seems interesting but I wonder how portable that could
be. Probably I'd define a more general means a la %q to mean "send a
control sequence" and then would define control sequences as functions
or constants.

It could work.
In my small framework I use version blocks and I use ansi escape
sequences for posix and SetConsoleTextAttribute for windoze.
Ofcourse there would be a need to create unified enumeration with colors
as they differ on those platforms too.
Good catch.
public enum Font
{
Normal = 0,
Underline = 0x8000,
Reverse = 0x4000,
}
public enum Color
{
Default = 0x0000,
Blue = 0x0001,
Green = 0x0002,
Aqua = 0x0003,
Red = 0x0004,
Purple= 0x0005,
Yellow= 0x0006,
Gray = 0x0008,
LightBlue = 0x0009,
LightGreen = 0x000A,
LightAqua = 0x000B,
LightRed = 0x000C,
LightPurple= 0x000D,
}
Those are colors and font-attributes that I found to match both Windows
and Posix
If you can show me you're work and it's licensed in a way that I can
use it in Phobos, then I'll happily try to make use of it. It'd be
much appreciated.
Hey Chad.
Sorry for delay, been a bit busy.
Here it is: https://gist.github.com/2025473
I hope it can help you somehow.
(There is place for improvments I know but I used it mostly for
debbuging stuff ;))
And yea, I think like others that it should have its own module like
std.terminal/std.console or maybe somekind of spot in std.stdio.
Best Regards,
Damian Ziemba
Hey, np about the delay. I'm not going to get to working on this stuff
that soon anyways.
Thanks for the code!
