What is your favorite terminal colors library?
One of those dependencies is atty which is not very alive and potentially unsound, see here for example: https://github.com/zkat/supports-color/issues/9

Does anyone know if this is true or just a false positive?
Because I thought ansi_term was complete that's why it's not updated anymore (like lazy_static).

On Comments in Code
I find Rust crate code to be quite difficult to read sometimes because it contains a lot of comments and executable examples destined to be incorporated into auto-published (and auto-executed) documentation. That's a fine thing of course, but it would be nice if there were facilities to see "just the code and code comments".
A somewhat random example is https://github.com/ogham/rust-ansi-term/blob/master/src/styl...
