Description
Hello,
I am trying to use rexpect for testing rustyline.
But it seems that ANSI escape sequences are ignored in the output stream.
For example, I can remove this:
p.exp_string("\x1b[?2004h")?; // bracketed paste on
with no impact on the tests.
But if I replace it with a typo:
p.exp_string("\x1b[?2004x")?; // bracketed paste on
tests now fail.
Is there a way to tell rexpect to fail if an ANSI escape sequence is missing ?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start with the p.exp_string calls shown in the issue and reproduce the rustyline example linked in the report. Inspect how rexpect matches process output and handles ANSI escape sequences. Done means a missing escape sequence, such as \x1b[?2004h, causes the expectation test to fail.
