Nim library to parse ANSI escape codes

ansiparse

This super small module is indented to correctly parse ANSI escape sequences to be then interpreted. Currently only Control Sequence Introducer sequnces are supported (these are the ones that are used for terminal colours and cursor movement). To parse a string with ANSI escape sequences in it, simply do

parseANSI("Hello \e[31;5mworld\e[m")

The parseANSI procedure takes a string and returns a sequence of variant objects that can either have kind == String and a str field with the string value, or a kind == CSI and have the parameter, intermediate, and final fields set to strings containing the valid values according to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#CSI_sequences
