how to colorize prompt?

[timotheecour]

@TylerBrock

tried modifying code as follows:

var prompt_string = "PROMPT";
return colorize(prompt_string, mongo_hacker_config.colors.date);

but it prints escaped code as follows:
[34mPROMPT[m^C

• Bug fix when the prompt contains ESC chars antirez/linenoise#135
• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-18065

workaround: use print() :

    var prompt_string = host + '(' + process + '-' + version + ')' + state + ' ' + db;
    var prompt_string = colorize(prompt_string, mongo_hacker_config.colors.prompt);
    print(prompt_string);
    return ">";

@TylerBrock, this helped me a lot. Could this be noted somewhere like a FAQ or tutorials or even in the README.md?
