"hello world".green.bold.ansi_escape # => "\e[32;1m"

Colorize.with.red.surround(io) do
  io << "colorful"
  Colorize.with.green.bold.surround(io) do
    io << " hello "
  end
  Colorize.with.blue.surround(io) do
    io << "world"
  end
  io << " string"
end

io.to_s # returns a colorful string where "colorful" is red, "hello" green, "world" blue and " string" red again
