IRIS: a low-level ANSI color manipulation library

Principles

1. Do NOT implement rare standards (such as fraktur and blink support).
2. Favor explicit over convenient naming, e.g., use RedFg instead of Red.
3. Do NOT predefine every possible color or famous color sets (like CSS, Xterm). Assume only dynamic color usage.
4. Trust the developers. Provide unsafe methods which might cause unexpected behavior if not used with proper guarantees.
5. Allow partial styling without auto-reset. Allow developers to decide when to close styling.
