Doing another iteration on my diagnostics display. I'm reasonably happy with the bold highlighting within the error message. I'm not sure about the colour on Warning and Error though. It gives the output some visual structure, but arguably the message itself is more important.

Why do so few CLI tools use colour inside their error messages? For example, rustc uses colour well in the error display, but there's no special styling of the content in backticks. By contrast, markdown website almost always style backtick text differently from prose. E.g. `field` is not specially styled here.

Just learnt that pacman, the Arch Linux package manager, has a colour option in /etc/pacman.conf!
