ANSI colors in OutputChannel

I might have seen a post regarding styling of the OutputChannel, but not sure though.

I think it would be a nice feature to support ANSI colors. This way libraries like chalk can be used to style the output. Another benefit is that if you develop a plugin like Yeoman, who outputs to the console, the output can be directly passed to the OutputChannel.

Not sure if this is possible, but I think it would be a nice feature. No need to implement our own styling stuff in the channel, just use libraries that already exist.
