;;; prelude.el --- My attempt at augmenting Elisp stdlib -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>

;;; Commentary:
;; Some of these ideas are scattered across other modules like `fs',
;; `string-functions', etc.  I'd like to keep everything modular.  I still don't
;; have an answer for which items belond in `misc'; I don't want that to become
;; a dumping grounds.  Ideally this file will `require' all other modules and
;; define just a handful of functions.

;; TODO: Consider removing all dependencies from prelude.el.
