chalk's Issues

"Ambiguous reference to member 'appendInterpolation'" error

I'm getting an Ambiguous reference to member 'appendInterpolation' compile-time error when trying to use Chalk with either a variable or a string literal.

import Chalk

print("\("Hello, world!", style: .bold)")
        ^ Ambiguous reference to member 'appendInterpolation'

let greeting = "Hello, world!"
print("\(greeting, style: .bold)")
        ^ Ambiguous reference to member 'appendInterpolation'

This happens with any Chalk parameters used in any string interpolation in my project. I'm experiencing this issue in a complex project, but have also verified it to be an issue in a brand new blank project generated with swift package init --type executable.

Using Xcode version 10.2 (10E125) and Swift version 5.0 (swiftlang-1001.0.69.5 clang-1001.0.46.3) with the package dependency .package(url: "https://github.com/mxcl/Chalk", from: "0.3.0").

Detecting non-interactive terminals

I've been previously using a competitor's project that detects the terminal type and can transparently turn off color and style coding when it encounters a non-interactive one (e.g., file redirection).

Since I like the Chalk API much better, it would be cool, if it could do something equivalent.

Named colors for 8-bit mode?

First off, thanks for this great package.

What do you think about including named colors for the 8-bit mode, e.g. from here? I know they're not quite standardized, but it would be much more helpful than just using arbitrary constants.
