  Description     : template scripting support to go programs

 Package tfortools provides a set of functions that are designed to make
 it easier for developers to add template based scripting to their command
 line tools.
 .
 Command line tools written in Go often allow users to specify a template
 script to tailor the output of the tool to their specific needs. This can
 be useful both when visually inspecting the data and also when invoking
 command line tools in scripts. The best example of this is go list which
 allows users to pass a template script to extract interesting information
 about Go packages. For example,
 .
 .
 go list -f '{{range .Imports}}{{println .}}{{end}}'
 .
 .
 prints all the imports of the current package.
 .
 The aim of this package is to make it easier for developers to add
 template scripting support to their tools and easier for users of
 these tools to extract the information they need.   It does this by
 augmenting the templating language provided by the standard library
 package text/template in two ways: • It auto generates descriptions of
 the data structures passed as input to a template script for use in help
 messages.  This ensures that help usage information is always up to date
 with the source code.• It provides a suite of convenience functions to
 make it easy for script writers to extract the data they need.  There are
 functions for sorting, selecting rows and columns and generating nicely
 formatted tables.  For example, if a program passed a slice of structs
 containing stock data to a template script, we could use the following
 script to extract the names of the 3 stocks with the highest trade volume.
 .
 .
 {{table (cols (head (sort . "Volume" "dsc") 3) "Name" "Volume")}}
 .
 .
 The output might look something like this:
 .
 .
 Name              Volume Happy Enterprises 6395624278 Big Company
 7500000 Medium Company    300122
 .
 .
 The functions head, sort, tables and col are provided by this package.
