In your code, one uses "(light-blue yellow)", and only some times as a
list, where as in ansi-color the symbols are upper case and the names
different, "RED ON-BLUE".  I am suggesting to use the same names for
same things, so the interface is more-or-less compatible.

I am not sure about the licensing there.  That module is copyrighted,
though GPLv3+.  A merge /may/ require the original author to assign
the copyright.

Still, reusing it would be ideal, which is why I suggest to target
this extension to guile-lib and avoid maintaining two sets of similar
colour->ansi-string type functions.
