Tricky and fun utilities for Go programs.

• Go - I recommend the latest stable release. At least 1.18 is required for generic features.
• Git - I recommend the latest stable release.
• GitHub CLI - you can use git on the command line if you wish, but the github cli is very nice ...

Developed with Go 1.16.4. Updated to Go 1.18. Go is extremely backwards compatible and semver stable. Nearly any v1.x should work fine.
