Announcement of xzmsg, a flexible message tool

Hi,
I would like to announce a new, flexible message tool - xzmsg. It's capable
of:

- no quoting needed/expected, i.e. xzmsg My message, not xzmsg "My message",
- color aren't codes like with %F{174}, but names, that can be themed,
i.e.: {err}Error,
- a standard message preamble with [file:line] tag, for quick location of
the origin,
- themes (currently two: default.xzt and blue.xzt).
- runs as an autoload function/script on Zsh, or as a script on Bash.

Project page:
https://github.com/psprint/xzmsg

Best regards,
Sebastian Gniazdowski

I've forgot to mention that if a xz-format-NAME function exists, it's used
when {NAME} occurs, and is expected to output colorized string received in
$1, to allow e.g.: colorization of {file}tarball.tar.gz with e.g.: two or
three different colors.

Note there's a rather more popular package that uses "xz" as its
namespace prefix:

[[[
% apt-file search bin/xz
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xz                     
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xzcat
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xzcmp
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xzdiff
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xzegrep
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xzfgrep
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xzgrep
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xzless
xz-utils: /usr/bin/xzmore
xzdec: /usr/bin/xzdec
xzgv: /usr/bin/xzgv
xzoom: /usr/bin/xzoom
]]]

xzdec and xzgv also use that namespace prefix; xzoom doesn't.
