[Ann] Col 1.0.0 -- high-level console color library

[Gavin Sinclair]

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.
