    StickyMessages(io::IO; ansi_codes=io isa Base.TTY && 
                   (!Sys.iswindows() || VERSION >= v"1.5.3"))

A `StickyMessages` type manages the display of a set of persistent "sticky"
messages in a terminal. That is, messages which are not part of the normal
scrolling output. Each message is identified by a label and may may be added to
the set using `push!(messages, label=>msg)`, and removed using
`pop!(messages, label)`, or `empty!()`.

Only a single StickyMessages object should be associated with a given TTY, as
the object manipulates the terminal scrolling region.
