Thank you Corion.
That makes sense, but it doesn't exactly solve my problem. I don't want to make this change in every part of the code where I'm displaying something.

I guess, most of my print statements are in the same file in fact, apart from exceptions. (Edit: In fact I just realized that I would really like these exceptions to be colourized...)

I'll try this tomorrow. But I'm still wondering if there is a better way...

    The starting point of my reasoning is:

    There is only one place where I declare the variables that I want to colorize. If I could colorize them then and nowhere else, that would be much simpler.

      You will need to split up the two uses of $name, for internal program logic and for display.

        But this means passing around both variables everywhere, which is a pain.

        Oh! I just realized, I could I not notice? eq() is an operator, I can overload it! Time to Git clone and see if that works...
