"""
A sample application for cmd2. Demonstrating colorized output.

Experiment with the command line options on the `speak` command to see how
different output colors ca

The allow_style setting has three possible values:

Never
    poutput(), pfeedback(), and ppaged() strip all ANSI style sequences
    which instruct the terminal to colorize output

Terminal
    (the default value) poutput(), pfeedback(), and ppaged() do not strip any
    ANSI style sequences when the output is a terminal, but if the output is
    a pipe or a file the style sequences are stripped. If you want colorized
    output, add ANSI style sequences using cmd2's internal ansi module.

Always
    poutput(), pfeedback(), and ppaged() never strip ANSI style sequences,
    regardless of the output destination
