+Contributions are welcome but acceptance is completely up to tastybento. Do not be offended if your contribution is rejected.
+I will not accept any contributions that are formatting only, or mostly formatting.
+Automated code cleanup is also not a valid contribution as a first Pull Request. If a tool is doing your job,
+the submit an issue that recommends we use a specific tool.
+Contributions are accepted under the license terms and conditions. Note that this means we may use them elsewhere.
+Thank you!
