Isaiah Odhner f5d97912b6 Design transparent/opaque options UI ANSI art
This is a first draft (or first 13 versions) of an ANSI art rendition of
MS Paint's transparent/opaque option selector used for the Select and
Text tools.

A somewhat silly smattering of notes:

- Emoji representation: 🛢️🔴🧊 or 🛢️🔴🟩
- More symbols considered (and some used):
  ⛀⛁⛃🛢️⬬
  ▰𝄰ᐟ⸍⸝🧊
  ╭╮🔴⏺◖◗
  ╰╯
- The red circle seems really unreliable so I don't think I can use it.
- Overlapping the red circle/sphere object is hard to represent!
- I managed to get something fairly legible in Ubuntu's terminal,
  not so much in VS Code. VS Code is harder; I might've modified some
  settings, I don't know, but it doesn't handle semigraphics as well,
  at least not on my computer. But...
- At least if you've used MS Paint before, you can recognize the general
  color/shape profile of the icons, if not parse out what the icons are
  meant to represent if you'd never looked closely at them before.
- I'm not sure if v12 or v13 is better. I moved the right border to the
  right a bit by making it Braille, but should the corners extend
  further right then (with two dots), or mirror the left border by using
  a single dot Braille character?
