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 early 2024, I'm almost done with that process.
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.
