• Cursor control sequences (if buffer is enabled)

Not (yet) implemented:

• Obscure SGR sequences not listed above (most notably invert and hide)
• OSC sequences
• Some C0 control codes (like tab or backspace)

Credits

Thanks a lot to theZiz for his great tool aha. I basically ported his code to D and improved on it. I would have just contributed upstream, but I needed a D library and thus it wasn't possible for me (with my technical knowledge) to just use aha.
