As of JuliaLang/julia#49586 we have the StyledStrings stdlib. Thanks to it being an external stlib, we can also register it in General.

I think we can be a bit sneakier though, and do the following:

• Overhaul parts of the codebase to make it Julia 1.0 compatible (I already have most of this work saved)
• Register this as version 1.0 in general
• Revert that overhaul
• Register version 1.11 in general
• Profit (backwards compatibility)

I think we want to do this just before 1.11, so the registered 1.0 version behaves as near-identically as possible. This issue is mainly to serve as a tracked reminder for me to do so.
