In some environments, like the Eclipse IDE, logging to the Java Console is
redirected to the GUI. In this context, ANSI escape codes mean nothing and show
up as "garbage" on the screen.
This condition can be detected, if java.lang.System.console() returns null,
like it does in Eclipse, then we should optionally not output ANSI codes.
It would be best to provide this as an option such that ANSI codes could still
be written to a file for later viewing on the console.
