Prettify log's color

// examples
var out = 'http://nuysoft.com/ [e-mail]';
// 
console.log(out.red);
print.red(out);
print.color('red', out);
// 
print.bold(out);
print.italic(out);
print.underline(out);
print.inverse(out);
print.white(out);
print.grey(out);
print.black(out);
print.blue(out);
print.cyan(out);
print.green(out);
print.magenta(out);
print.red(out);

Prettify JSONArray to table

// examples
var list = [
    { id: 1, foo: 'f', bar: 'barbarbarbar' },
    { id: 2, foo: 'foo', bar: 'barbar' },
    { id: 3, foo: 'foofoo', bar: 'bar' },
    { id: 4, foo: 'foofoofoofoo', bar: 'b', fb: 'foobar' }
];
print.pt(list);

// out
+----+--------------+--------------+-----------+
| id | foo          | bar          | fb        |
+----+--------------+--------------+-----------+
| 1  | f            | barbarbarbar | undefined |
| 2  | foo          | barbar       | undefined |
| 3  | foofoo       | bar          | undefined |
| 4  | foofoofoofoo | b            | foobar    |
