A small, cute CLI app that gives overviews about files and other entities. I've called it `what`. It's inspired by being able to right-click on stuff in a GUI file manager to get an overview about what it is.

This is great! Does this have like a plugin system for different types of things?


Thank you!

Currently it is just a bit of pattern matching and polymorphism that pulls in various libraries according to entity type. If it picks up any interest I'll put some thought into how could be a bit more elegant / modular.
