colored breaks awesome_print

[roberts1000]

Great gem! I've been using cri on a couple projects and it's been working great. A user reported a bug on my rspec_n gem (which uses cri) and stated rspec_n breaks awesome_print when both gems are listed in a Gemfile. I traced the issue back to the colored gem that cri uses and thought I would make sure you were aware (especially since awesome_print is such a popular gem).

colored adds colorize, green, red, etc... methods directly on String. awesome_print does the same thing. The gem that gets listed last in a Gemfile has their implementation loaded by Bundler. If colored is listed last, it breaks awesome_print.

Based on this comment in the awesome_print code, awesome_print seems to have compatibility with the colorize gem (an alternative to colored), but it doesn't seem to know about colored.

Here’s a potential fix: #90.

I argue that coloring text and making it bold is simple enough that it does not require a separate gem.

This is now fixed and released in Cri 2.15.4.

Thanks for the quick fix!
