Dev Utils

dev_utils is a collection of utilities for use in development. Designed to be a comprehensive crate, containing a wide variety of tools for use in development. Intended to be used as a dependency in other projects, and as such, it is designed to be as modular as possible, allowing users to only include the features they need.

It is a manifestation of a crate where we do not need a deep dependencies tree to use a single feature. This crate shouldn't be using any dependencies but for now, it uses the log crate for logging utilities.

Important Note: This crate is currently in active development, and as such, it is not advisable for widespread utilization at this time. There are numerous features still in the process of implementation, which need to be thoroughly tested before they can be considered production-ready.
