    I use a lot of CLI tools, but haven't written many for myself. Mostly, aliases/functions and some scripts in Bash/Python.

    Nice, especially the format output.

    See also:

    * hck (https://github.com/sstadick/hck) - close to drop in replacement for cut that can use a regex delimiter instead of a fixed string

    I saw about `hck` recently on twitter, was impressed to see support for compressed files. From the current todo list, I hope complement is implemented for sure.

    I see Negative index is currently "unlikely". I'm writing a similar tool [0], but with bash+awk. I solved the negative index support with a `-n` option, which changes the range syntax to `:` instead of `-` character.

    My biggest trouble came with literal field separator [1], because FS can only be specified as a string in awk and backslash is a metacharacter for both string and regexp.
