Text formatting library for terminal output, with embedded formatting tokens.

We're going to use formatting syntax of Dzen (https://github.com/robm/dzen). Some examples:

• ^fg(red)I'm red text ^fg(blue)I am blue
• ^bg(red)The ^fg(bright-black)text to ^bg(blue)^fg(cyan)colorize

For full example of working program, see src/main.rs. You can run it by cloning the repo and doing cargo run.

To use in your project, add

[dependencies.bread]

git = "https://github.com/mkpankov/bread.git"

to Cargo.toml and you should be good to go.

I'm a newbie with Rust, so please don't hesitate to suggest any improvement to the library, be it a code review, bug report, or feature request.

I'd really appreciate code review by a mature Rustacean. In case you're willing to do it (it's just 200+ lines!), please send your comments to work at michaelpankov dot com.
