These two packages allow Haskell programs to produce much richer console output by allowing colorisation, emboldening and so on.

Do you plan to extend the package to any terminal, using terminfo database?

Manlio,

I don't plan on an extension like this myself, as assuming ANSI support is enough for all the applications I'm interested in, and I suspect dealing with terminfo stuff will be a headache. Sorry!

I think, instead, that it should not be that hard. After all the C API can be wrapper in pure functions. And you can also write a pure Haskell interface to terminfo database.

Cheers, Max
