Hi!
This PR adds the ability to override
can_fancyprint(io::IO)
for a self-provided IO by setting an IOContext flag::Pkg_force_fancyprint
can be set to true or false.Why
My use case is Pluto, where we call Pkg functions like
Pkg.precompile()
with a buffer asio
. Our display (in the browser) supports fancy-printing, but because the buffer is not a<: Base.TTY
, Pkg will not fancy-print.The current workaround in Pluto is to add type piracy to the
Pkg.can_fancyprint
function, defining a new, more specific method forcan_fancyprint(io::IOContext{BufferStream})
where we set it totrue
, but I want to avoid this solution.What do you think?
