 Makemigrations should highlight destructive and potentially destructive
 operations in the console output. We advise that makemigrations is only a
 code generator people sometimes apply them without looking. Highlighting
 dangerous operations in the output will make them stand out, and might
 help them notice issues before they blindly apply.

 For example:

 {{{
 $ ./manage.py makemigrations ...
 Migrations for 'some_app':
   some_app/migrations/0002_delete.py
     - Delete model SomeModel
     + Add model AnotherModel
     ~ Alter field X on Y
 }}}

 We can use `-` as a prefix for known destructive operations, `+` for
 "safe" operations and `~` for possibly-destructive operations, colour
 coded as green, red and yellow respectively.
