added CSI (\x9b) as additionally allowable escape
Added `\x9b` as an additionally allowable ANSI escape code. It's pretty phased out, but can still be used.

The difference between the two is that `\x1b` requires a following `[`. Together, both of those characters combined form the CSI. There is the single character alternative, `\x9b`, that doesn't require the `[`. It is less common, I speculate, because faulty ANSI implementations will output `[37;1m` which is more distinct than just `37;1m` - don't quote me on that though. All I know is that it has to do with [C0 and C1 control codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes) and a bunch of unicode voodoo.

I doubt many terminal emulators even support it nowadays but it *is* something you should probably be checking for.
