1849	mcview: color output (ansi escapes) support	gotar		"This is similar to #28, however my approach is entirely different and much simpler. Instead of using editor's syntax highlighting (or better: apart from it) mcview should simply have the ability to display color control sequencies (similar to less -r/-R switches).

Having this we're almost done - all we need is some internal (via mcedit code) or external (like highlight package) formatter to colorize output. So for example we could define View=%view{ascii-color} to pass through ""highlight --xterm256 --style=darkblue"" command and that's it. %view{ascii} and %view{ascii-color} could be switched either in mc.ext/bindings file or some function within viewer itself.

Of course some movement issues would appear, but it should be enough to colorize only currently visible part of the screen or sth like this."	enhancement	new	major	Future Releases	mcview	master			egmont ossi	3264		no branch
