Announcing `tuc`, a utility similar to coreutils `cut`, but more powerful.
It allows to split text or bytes into parts and reassemble them in any order.
I always found `cut` very practical for some tasks where `sed` or `awk` were overkill or awkward to use, but I also felt the need for more features.
Some key differences from `cut`:
- parts can be referenced by negative indexes
- delimiters can be any number of characters long, or match a regex
- can split text into lines, and reassemble them
