Usage
var ansi = encode raw = raw;colorado.encode is a function that takes any number of strings as arguments,
and concatenates them into an ansi-encoded string.
colorado.raw is a function that takes an ansi-encoded string,
and gives back the raw text. This is very useful when you want to get the length
of the output text, for instance, to set a cursor position.
colorado.encode( )

Pass in a string to add plain text:
var boring = ;console; // is boringUse double handlebars to specify styles (comma separated):
var dangerous = ;console; // made you lookIf you already know the code number for a style, pass it as a number:
var justAsDangerous = ;console; // remarkably similarYou can inline a whole bunch of them, and mix and match names and code numbers:
var obviouslyPractical = ;console; // trés artistiqueStyles are reset between each string passed:
var cuteStory = ;console; // very anecdotalcolorado.raw( )
hereafter stored as var 'raw' for legibility
var pretty = ; // it sure is, lets write itprocessstdout;// now I want the cursor 2 spaces after that...// so I need to know the printed length of the pretty string// or else all those escape characters will put me in outer spacevar actualLength = length;processstdout;processstdout;It really clears things up...
var ugly = '\u001b[36;1mfinally\u001b[37m, \u001b[22mclarity\u001b[39;49;0m.' ; // 'finally, clarity.'
