Hi all, Wdyt of adding a change like this to the Exception module to make reading stacktraces in IEX a little easier on the eye?

In essence, it would colorize the main application name when reading the stacktrace. (Can't post an example picture because my message gets insta-deleted) It makes it immediately apparent what lines are from the actual application we are coding. The biggest hurdle would be to figure out the "current" error logger color (red) and maybe allow customizing the color of the main app.

The lazy way i did was in `format_stacktrace_entry({module, fun, arity, location}` compare :application.get_application(self()) with :application.get_application(module). If they are the same, then i do `IO.ANSI.yellow() <> result_of_line_formatting <> IO.ANSI.red()`.
