This collection of packages is the result of me (Adam Colton) reusing code. Over the course of several smaller projects I kept reusing the same code snippets. I'd find bugs and need to go update many projects. I started putting them all in this repo and it sort of took on a life of it's own

Because this repo was initially just a place for me to dump shared code, it was a mess for a long time. Since early 2023 I've been working to clean it up, which has involved significantly re-writing history. As of late 2024, I've got most of the history in a decent state. Most of the code has good test coverage and about 75% has documentation.

I'm continuing to add coverage and documentation but I expect it will take a while longer to get fully caught up.

In most functions that would need to allocate memory a buffer argument is supplied. It is always safe to use nil for a buffer. This pattern can avoid generating garbage often enough that it is useful and (by simply supplying nil) it is easy to ignore.

Several packages provide wrappers around builtin data structures or useful interfaces. The package util/upgrade provides a standard way to access the wrapped interface.
