 * @remarks
 * This function uses a regular expression to match and remove ANSI escape sequences
 * that control text styling in terminal output. These sequences typically start with
 * the escape character (x1b) followed by square brackets and control codes.
 *
 * The function is useful for:
 * - Getting accurate string length measurements without styling codes
 * - Preparing terminal output for non-terminal destinations (files, logs)
 * - Normalizing text for comparison or processing
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * import { xterm, stripAnsi } from '@remotex-labs/xansi';
 *
 * const coloredText = xterm.red('Error!');
 * console.log(stripAnsi(coloredText)); // "Error!" (without ANSI codes)
 * ```

 *
 * Each constant is an escape sequence that can be written directly to the terminal
