Thanks.

Too bad it requires an ANSI-capable terminal, and therefore will not
work on MS-Windows.

Oh, I'm not familiar with Windows, what's the solution on it? Or patches
welcome. ;-)

You cannot do that from Scheme, I think, you need to call special
functions to set foreground and background colors from the C level.

This would require Scheme procedures to set console colors of the
text, and then your package would need to call them, instead of
constructing SGR sequences on the flight.

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Perhaps a solution would be to use guile-ncurses?

Yes, that should work, assuming guile-ncurses uses ncurses (which can
be built on Windows).

Hmm...but if I use guile-ncurses, it's pity to implement a colorful REPL
only. It could be a powerful debugging tools...
