It is:

  require 'facets/{class|module}/{method_name}'

There are some exceptions where one method is in the same file as
another (eg. write/append), but these are being worked out and should
be almost not existent in another release or two. Even so, require
'facets' hides all that.

It's just

  require 'facets/ansicode'

  ANSICode

The Console:: namespace has been deprecated. The docs just need to be
fixed.
