col: high-level console color formatting for Ruby

If you want a dash of color in your Ruby console program, use Term::ANSIColor.
If your color formatting requirements are more complicated, use Col.
Col provides as much convenience as possible without modifying builtin classes.

=== SYNOPSIS

require 'col'

puts Col("Hello world!").red.bold
puts Col("Hello world!").rb

puts Col("Hello ", "world!").fmt "r,g"

puts Col("Hello ", "world!").fmt [:red, :bold], [:green, :bold]
puts Col("Hello ", "world!").fmt "rb,gb"

puts Col("Hello ", "world!").fmt [:bold], [:cyan, :italic, :on_white]

puts Col.inline(
"Hello ", [:red, :bold, :on_white],
"world!", :b_oy
