Also provides shortcuts to drop the format calls in the following expressions:

alias IO.ANSI.Plus, as: ANSI

[:aqua, "Garry, your move:", :reset, " "] |> ANSI.format(true) |> IO.gets()

The above expressions can be shortened to:

alias IO.ANSI.Plus, as: ANSI
["Hello, ", :brown, "world!"] |> ANSI.puts(true)
[:aqua, "Garry, your move:", :reset, " "] |> ANSI.gets(true)
*
