[Suggestion] Wrapper for effects and unprintable characters

See original GitHub issue

Hello.

I created a Pull request a few minutes ago adding a “wrapper” feature.

I’m working on an Open Source tool to setting the PS1 in your terminal, using node. But for that, I needed all the colours and effects to be wrapped into \[ and \].

I figured this could be an interesting addition for the chalk project as it can be used to “tokenise” the styles, to identify and debug them, or help you out on different TTYs.

I hope this can be considered 😃

Hey - not really interested to be quite honest. Just do a search for \x1b and replace it with a character of your choosing (or remove it entirely) in the output.

For example,

$ FORCE_COLOR=1 node your/chalk/app.js | tr -d "$(printf '\x1b')"

That means your terminal emulator doesn’t support them and is improperly reporting its TERM variable. Which one are you using?
