style! or console::format! macro

[alexheretic]

I might be nice to have a fancy style! (or console::format!) macro to replace format! usage.

Example

This is how I could make a progress string now.

let progress = 100.0 / 3.0;
let elapsed = Duration::from_secs(66);

let progress = format!(
    "{:.1}% in {:?}",
    style(progress).bold(),
    style(elapsed).green().italic(),
);

The macro could work something like:

let progress = 100.0 / 3.0;
let elapsed = Duration::from_secs(66);

let progress = style!("{:.1.bold}% {:?.green.italic}", progress, elapsed);

Or with argument capture:

let progress = 100.0 / 3.0;
let elapsed = Duration::from_secs(66);

let progress = console::format!("{progress:.1.bold}% {elapsed:?.green.italic}");

I would consider it out of scope for this repo personally. But I also want to note that I am only maintaining this, not actively developing.

I would actually suggest that you implement the macro in a separate crate but also to allow it to play nice with all kinds of color libraries. That would be great contribution to the ecosystem.
