<pre>
    This is probably intended behavior, but I wanted to flag that clang's handling of ANSI escape code in static_asserts is different than in GCC.

```cpp
constexpr std::string_view t = "\x1b[31mThis should be red\x1b[0m";

static_assert(0, t);
```

On clang (trunk), prints:


Whereas GCC-14.2 prints:


This allows for fun things such as rendering images in color in static_assertion failures, but nothing in the standard I can think of requires this behavior.
