textattr is a library and command-line tool that makes adding 
color and attributes to beautify the terminal output of your 
program easier by translating human-readable specs into ANSI 
escape codes.

The library is available for C, C++, Python and D. C++ and Python 
use the C code for internal processing but the D code is a 
separate implementation for easy inclusion of textattr.d in a D 
compilation command without requiring any external linking.

Cool, must remember this in case I need it one day. Do you have 
plans to add it to the dub registry?

Don't know how. Can follow instructions if provided. Does DUB 
also allow multi-language libs one of which is D?

Unfortunately my D usage isn't as much as I'd like it to be so 
haven't kept up so closely…

You can find the instructions on how to create a dub package 
here: http://code.dlang.org/publish

It looks to me like the textattr.d is all that is needed? Should 
be easy to put it in a separate package that could be uploaded to 
dub registry.

Yes indeed textattr.d is all that is needed! For C too 
textattr.c|h are all that are needed.

i was thinking to something like this the other day:


struct ColoredText(int color)
{
     string payload;
     alias payload this;
}

with a writeln() like function that check if the args are 
template instances of ColoredText.


or even more versatile:

 Color!Blue string b1, b2;
 Color!Red  string r1, r2;
 Color!Green int i1, i2;


with a writeln() like function that inspects the UDA or the args.
