### Building
We use `make` to automate the build process (as `cargo` is not (yet?) able to
build several applications at once).
Make sure to _not_ include some `-j 8` arguments, as cargo parallelizes the
build process on its own. If you parallelize it with make, you end up with a
really high load on your system.

This crate will contain both the Rust bindings for imag using `ruru` and a bunch
of wrapper code for the actual `imag` gem.
We are not there yet, though.
### Why another layer of indirection?
As "ruru" does not yet support modules (which is sad btw) we would end up with

So basically a piece of Ruby which uses the Rust code to build
`imag` as a gem which then exports a fine module system.
### Ideas for module system:
### The module system:
```text
Imag (Module)
Runtime (Class)
Store (Class)
Entry (Class)
EntryHeader (Class)
EntryContent (Class (inherits from String))
EntryHeader (Class)
FileLockEntryHandle (Class)
StoreHandle (Class)
StoreId (Class)
```
I would name the types the same as in the Rust codebase, to avoid confusion.
Only exception would be the `Entry` class, which would be a `FileLockEntry`
underneath.
If we adapt `libimagentrytag` and the other `libimagentry*`
libraries, we would extend this type.
## More plans
I want to pull these libraries into the Ruby bindings:
* libimagentryedit
* libimagentryfilter
* libimagentrylink
* libimagentrylist
* libimagentrymarkdown
* libimagentrytag
* libimagentryview
Which all provide functions on top of `libimagstore::store::{FileLock,}Entry`,
so we will implement them on `Imag::Entry`.
`libimagentrytag` and the other `libimagentry*` libraries will be pulled into
this library to support more advanced operations with the `FileLockEntryHandle`
type.
