I started a refactor branch a long time ago but didn't want to merge it in until I'd completely caught up with the master branch. While I left this branch I got PRs and issues on the languishing master branch.
I wasn't able to prioritize implementing more on this refactor because it implemented everything I needed, which to me is a sign that it is probably good enough for others too. I felt bad everytime someone sent in an issue or PR on master so figured now was as good of a time as in.
I welcome anyone to help send in PRs to cover more of the API.
One of the major design points of this refactor is to stick to the API style of the golang library. This feels awkward at points form a rust point of view but makes it easier to write, consume and implement new features without risking more breaking changes in the future.
