I love to see slim alternatives to bigger, older tools (acknowledging that both versions have their place in the world).

However, I have to ask: why C? Apparently the author is very comfortable using it, and I'm sure using C has enabled them to make a very efficient implementation with a small binary size.

But this program is just slinging around strings, right? Is manual memory management actually important, or even desirable?
