This is a heavily modified fork of http://github.com/defunkt/colored gem, with
many sensible pull requests combined. Since the authors of the original gem no
longer support it, this might, perhaps, be considered a good
alternative.

Simple gem that adds various color methods to String class, and can be used as
follows:

require 'colored2'

puts 'this is red'.red puts 'this is red with a yellow background'.red.on.yellow
puts 'this is red with and italic'.red.italic puts 'this is green
bold'.green.bold << ' and regular'.green puts 'this is really bold blue on white
but reversed'.bold.blue.on.white.reversed puts 'this is regular, but '.red! <<
'this is red '.yellow! << ' and yellow.'.no_color! puts ('this is regular, but
'.red! do 'this is red '.yellow! do ' and yellow.'.no_color! end end)
