TODO

Features

• Add argument to match_files and list_files that filters all but a set of file types. To do this, make file_type a bitmask enum.
• Use CC_ASSERT instead of assert.
• Add support for standard library detection (e.g. libc++ vs libstdc++) to the platform module.
• match_files with recursive directory enumeration.
• Tuple arithmetic.

Documentation

• Document the utility module after sufficient usage.
