The functions and classes in the humanfriendly package can be used to make text
interfaces more user friendly. Some example features:
- Parsing and formatting numbers, file sizes, pathnames and timespans in
simple, human friendly formats.
- Easy to use timers for long running operations, with human friendly
formatting of the resulting timespans.
- Prompting the user to select a choice from a list of options by typing
the option's number or a unique substring of the option.
- Terminal interaction including text styling (ANSI escape sequences), user
friendly rendering of usage messages and querying the terminal for its size
