Please allow other spinners on Windows

[ffMathy]

Often, CLIs etc are used via VS Code's terminal, or some other terminal that does have support. For instance, Windows Terminal.

Sure, but we need to be able to reliably detect those terminals that do support it.

[ffMathy]

Gotcha - that makes sense.

@sindresorhus could you elaborate on sindresorhus/figures#27 (comment)?

I'm aware of the open issue you linked, however, WT_SESSION was added for this reason - microsoft/terminal#897. Could we use that until the other issue is closed out at some (possible distant) point in the future?

Or, just allow unicode: true in the options object, to force use of unicode. Caveat emptor, and all that? I created a PR which enables this on windows (in an appropriate terminal) to work with all spinners. Really only useful for local scripts, not those intended to be published though.

[dsl101]

Does this meet your requirements? I'd be happy to alter the PR... It looks like that issue you linked to is going to be around for a while.

[sindresorhus]

Yes, I'm ok with that, since it doesn't look like Windows Terminal will have proper detection anytime soon.
