Switch from termcolor to anstream, like clap?
Thanks for libtest-mimic! I have a feature request of sorts. I'd be happy to put in the work to implement it, but since it's not completely trivial and raises a question about MSRV, I wanted to ask how you feel about it before I start on it.
clap switched from using termcolor to anstream for colored text output over a year ago (https://github.com/clap-rs/clap/pull/4765) while libtest-mimic still uses termcolor. This means that any workspace using libtest-mimic and a reasonably recent clap version is pulling in both of those crates and their respective dependencies. This works, but it's a bit silly in principle and the two crates don't 100% agree on which environment variables affect colored output. It's also a bit wasteful to always build two implementation of the same functionality, especially on Windows, where both pull in windows-sys with different sets of features (and potentially two different versions, when windows-sys makes a new semver-breaking release).
So I'd like to switch libtest-mimic to use anstream v0.6, to share dependencies with modern versions of clap. However, anstream and its dependencies currently have a MSRV of 1.64 or 1.65 (not 100% sure, Cargo.toml and the commit that modified it give different versions). libtest-mimic declares 1.60 MSRV in Cargo.toml (though 08e76d3557ea7e4ebfac403574eeb6f5a17f49a4 suggest reality may be more complicated). Perhaps enough time has passed that bumping MSRV to 1.65 is alright?
Your request sounds very reasonable and I'm totally fine with bumping the MSRV :) Will probably do a major version bump, but that's not a problem. If you'd prepare a PR for this, that'd be great.
