Description
The Makefile.PL in this dist attempts to add Win32::Console::ANSI as a suggested prerequisite on Win32. It does this by adding it to META_MERGE. This does not work. If a META.json or MEYA.yml file exists, META_ADD and META_MERGE will be ignored.
It isn't possible to add suggests or recommends prerequisites dynamically using ExtUtils::MakeMaker, unless you monkey patch its internals.

Research direction
Start with Makefile.PL and inspect how META_MERGE interacts with existing META.json or MEYA.yml files. Verify whether the reported dynamic prerequisite behavior can be addressed within ExtUtils::MakeMaker; the issue does not define a clear accepted outcome.
