I originally wrote this crate in 2015, when the latest version of Rust was 1.3.0. There have been many wonderful improvements to Rust and Cargo in the intervening years, but since this crate hasn't been under active development (it mostly just works!) it hasn't taken advantage of them.

I'd be open to someone doing the work to modernize this crate. Ideally if we were to tweak the API at all we could polish it up and produce a 1.0 release.
