Last words

First of all, thanks for reading! This library is not the biggest library ever, but it turned out to be really useful for one of my projects, and maybe it is for yours too :)
If you find bugs, please create an issue so I can fix them.
I'm still very new to Github, so feel free to point out things I could do better. Also, english is not my first language, so if you find any spelling/language-related mistakes, please do also create an issue.
Have a nice day,
