 libHX is a C library (with some additional C++ bindings available)
 that provides data structures and functions for tasks common in scripting
 languages; autoresizing string manipulation, maps, deques, option parsing,
 type-checking casts and more.
 
 libHX aids in quickly writing up C/C++ data processing programs,
 by consolidating tasks that often happen to be open-coded, such as
 config file reading, option parsing, directory traversal, and others,
 into a library. The focus is on reducing the amount of time (and
 secondarily, the amount of code) a developer has to spend for otherwise
 implementing such. Subsequently, proficient coders can use this to
 code as fast as for a scripting language.
