I'm aware of the daig_dump_buf fuctions, but I don't see how
they solve my problem. AFAIR, they dump out buffer contents in
hex. What I'm trying to do is:
diag_printf("\033[34mBlue Text \033[31mRed Text \033[mNormal Text\n");
diag_printf refuses to do that, so I have to do something like
this instead:
diag_printf("%c[34mBlue Text %c[31mRed Text %c[mNormal Text\n",033,033,033);
and that seems awkward to me.
One could argue that embedding escape seqences in strings is a
bit hackish...
