(** Interface for emitting compiler messages.

    All messages are expected to use the [Format] module. Flush, ["@?"], ["@."],
    ["%!"] etc. are not supposed to be used outside of this module.

    WARNING: this module performs side-effects at load time, adding support for
    ocolor tags (e.g. ["@{<blue>text@}"]) to the standard string formatter used
    by e.g. [Format.sprintf]. (In this case, the tags are ignored, for color
    output you should use the functions of this module that toggle support
    depending on cli flags and terminal support). *)

    the ocolor tags. Actual use of escape codes in the output depends on
    [Cli.style_flag] -- and wether the channel is a tty if that is set to auto. *)
