Description
Newer crates now leave a completely broken windows experience behind compared to earlier versions because instead of turning on ANSI code handling on the windows term it tries to emulate this. This has caused a bunch of very bad regressions (#69, #83).
This will require putting clicolors-control back in see #91.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #91 and the regressions reported in #69 and #83 to understand the prior Windows console behavior. Locate the native Windows handling and restore the clicolors-control dependency as described; done means Windows ANSI handling no longer follows the broken emulation path.
