.SYNOPSIS
    Colorizes text using ANSI console feature.

.PARAMETER Text
    String text to colorize.

.PARAMETER ForecroundColor
    Foreground color to be applied to the Text. Can be a color name, hex value (#112233), or System.Drawing.Color.

.PARAMETER BackgroundColor
    Background color to be applied to the Text. Can be a color name, hex value (#112233), or System.Drawing.Color.

.EXAMPLE
    # Returns the string "Alarma" wrapped with ANSI color sequences.

    Set-TextAnsiCodes 'Alarma' -ForecroundColor 'LightYellow' -BackgroundColor 'DarkGreen'

.EXAMPLE
    # A bit more complex output with aliases:

    "Value: $(AnsiTxt 56 -fc '#eeaaaa' -bc '#884444')`nCount: $(AnsiTxt 123 -fc '#aaeeaa' -bc '#448844')"
