This repository is only very lightly maintained; you are welcome to submit a pull request if there is behavior you'd like to add, I do occasionally check the PR list and merge code that is within the scope of this tool and doesn't include breaking changes.

If you have found a bug please indicate the desired behavior and provide a minimal example demonstrating the incorrect behavior; I do try to fix bugs as they come up but I have very little time to devote to this repository anymore, so I can't make any guarantees.

If you have a feature you'd like to request, please indicate the desired behavior. I will almost certainly never have the time to implement it myself but this repository does see occasional PR activity so it may be added by a generous contributor. You are, of course, welcome to submit a pull request yourself implementing the desired behavior.
