Hello,

I'm pretty new to Ada.

Can we print coloured text to the terminal?

Other languages permit the use of ANSI escape sequences, i.e. in Python (for example) I'd write

    print("\033[93mHowdy!\033[0m")

And "Howdy!" appears in orange on my screen.

How can I do this in Ada? I tried using Ada.Characters.Latin_1 ESC characters, but it just prints plaintext.
