Description

When I pass "\x1b[" to anstream's StripStr::strip_next (and consume the iterator) , then call it again with "38;", the "38;" is not stripped as I would expect but is returned from the iterator. Printing out the StripStr shows that it is in the Ground state after the first call.

When I use StripBytes instead, the "38;" is stripped as I expected.

Research direction

Start at anstream's StripStr::strip_next entry point and reproduce the two-call sequence with "\x1b[" followed by "38;", consuming each iterator. Compare its state and output with StripBytes; done means StripStr preserves the incomplete escape state and strips the continuation consistently, with coverage for this sequence.
