          Issue ID: 20788
           Summary: Difference between colored and non colored output
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: andre s-e-a-p.de

The dmd output text is different depending whether color output is on or off.

Sample:

void main()
{
    int i;
    e = 3;
}

Color on:
sample.d(4): Error: undefined identifier e

Color off:
sample.d(4): Error: undefined identifier `e`

This is an issue if you want to use the dmd output for dustmite.
Color is on by default and very often I forgot, that I cannot just
use the output of dub (dmd) but have to disable colored output.

The dmd output text should be the same, independent whether color is
on or off.
