possible unexpected behavior

[brucala]

First of all, thanks for the addition of StyledStrings to the standard library, looks fantastic!

While trying it out, I found a possible unexpected behavior.

As I would expect, the styled string str1 = styled"{yellow:is this {blue:blue or yellow}}" prints yellow for "is this " and blue for "blue or yellow". However, str2 = styled"{yellow:{blue:blue or yellow}}" prints yellow while I would expect it to print blue.

Is this expected?

Extra info in case it helps:

julia> sprint(print, str1, context = :color => true)
"\e[33mis this \e[34mblue or yellow\e[39m"

julia> sprint(print, str2, context = :color => true)
"\e[33mblue or yellow\e[39m"

and

julia> Base.annotations(str1)
2-element Vector{Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}, Pair{Symbol, Any}}}:
 (1:22, :face => :yellow)
 (9:22, :face => :blue)

julia> Base.annotations(str2)
2-element Vector{Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}, Pair{Symbol, Any}}}:
 (1:14, :face => :blue)
 (1:14, :face => :yellow)

it looks like the order of the annotations in the second case wasn't set properly?

Thanks for the issue! I agree that this is pretty unintuitive behaviour, and if you are able to check out #44 you should find it behaves as you expect there 🙂
