Cool!

Well, nothing in particular right now. But I think that those
constants do have value for themselves.

BTW, I think that this string concatenation

    schar(27) .. '[' .. tostring(value) .. 'm'

may also be extracted to a function and exported from a module along
with constants. You know, like low- and high-level layers of code.
