Subject: [PATCH] Dialogue::WriteText improvements

- Only have a long delay between symbols if the current character is std::ispunct() and the NEXT character is std::isspace
- Add native color code support
    - Requires string concatenation to actually use it, though, which I don't know how to do in ACS
