ANSI escape sequences as C++ iostream manipulators

What is this?

Just that. For all your

using namespace ansi::color;
std::cout << fg::red << "ERROR: something happened!" << fg::reset << "\n";

needs.

Ok. Why?

This seems to be the main justification behind all code I submit to Github: because of reasons.

In this case, I wanted to play with manipulators (that's kind of a WTF in and of itself), and for some reason, adding color to the output in a C++-esque way seemed like a good fit.

Doesn't libX do the same, only better/sexier/faster?

Most certainly. Don't really know. Don't really care. Read the previous point.

License?

Want to say MIT, but I haven't included the notice in any files, only the LICENSE file. That's not enough if I understand correctly, and I'll correct it if anyone ever cares enough to use any of this nonsense.
