I'd have expected styling to be applied at string construction, so that:
const alert_msg = withfaces(:banner => Face(foreground = :red)) do
styled"{banner:text}"
end
println(alert_msg)prints "text" in red. Instead, it prints without styling.
IMO this is a subtle but important difference between what I'd expect to be a StyledString vs. an AnnotatedString.
If you want to carry around style information with your string (I almost always do), I have to shuttle around the Faces I need to the presentation layer somehow - which is especially unclear how to do if I wanted to do AbstractString-style operations on this in a way that preserves styling.
