+@brief This is an extension to the Readline class provding a colored output
+
+This in an extension to the Readline class. It's purpose is just to have a
+colored output stream available. It's main idea is that it is used in
+environments without user interaction as a replacement the Console class.
+This is interesting to be able to do everything identical as if Console
+would be used, but Run() does not prompt but just wait until Stop()
+was called. The advantage is that some functions of Readline can be used
+like Execute and the history (just for Execute() commands of course)
