//! This library contains methods for divination using the I Ching and also includes a CLI app
//! for making predictions in your terminal. The CLI app was inspired by the original
//! [ching(6)](http://cfcl.com/ching/man/) unix app.
//!
//! The I Ching (a.k.a. the *Book of Changes*) is an ancient method of divination based on
//! cleromancy (assigning meaning to the generation of apparently random numbers.) Six numbers
//! between 6 and 9 are generated in order to create a hexagram, the meaning of which is
//! contained in the I Ching book.
//!
//! You can find lots of great information on the 2000+ year history of the I Ching on
//! [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Ching)
//!
//! To install this crate as a CLI app, just run
//! ```
//! cargo install iching
//! ```
//! Once installed, you can access the CLI help screen like this:
//! ```
//! iching --help
//! ```
//!
//! This project is a work in progress. If you find any issues, please submit them through Github.
//!
//! # A simplified example:
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! // Implementing the HexagramRepository trait is the most complex
//! // aspect of using this library. See the included CLI app for an
//! // example implementation called HexagramJson.
//! let mut hexagrams: HexagramRepository = HexagramJson::new();
//!
//! // Don't forget to initialize repository after construction, else
//! // it could fail to work or even panic.
//! hexagrams.initialize().expect("Initialization of hexagrams has failed");
//!
//! // Create a new random hexagram.
//! let new_hexagram = Hexagram::from_coin_tosses();
//! // Get the number of the hexagram according to changing lines and ordering
//! let hexagram_number = new_hexagram.as_number(false, HexagramOrdering::KingWen);
//!
//! // Fetch the hexagram's info from the repository that was initialized earlier.
//! let hexagram_info = hexagrams.get_by_number(hexagram_number)
//! .expect("Failed to get hexagram info by number (pre)");
//!
//! // Print the hexagram info for the user
//! print!("{}", hexagram_info);
//! ```
