Color codes in Io

Question

Is there a special trick to getting Io to switch the colors of terminal text? In Python I can run

print "\033[0;34;40mHi!"

and get a blue "Hi!".

In Io,

"\033[0;34;40mHi!" println

seems to have no effect.

Unfortunately it looks like Io sequences (strings) only convert single (alpha) character escape codes like \n or \t.

So (for now) this maybe the only workaround:

27 asCharacter .. "[0;34;40mHi!" println
