David Cantrell 🏏

I got annoyed at having to know how many lines I want to `head` or `tail`, and having to write the same stuff over and over again using `cat -n` / `grep` (or even worse an awk script) to figure them out on the fly, so ... two new scripts, `ignore-after` and `ignore-up-to` which are basically content-based versions of `head` and `tail`.

You're welcome.

Yes, I was tempted to write them in terms of car and cdr, and to write shell versions of those, but I wanted to actually get shit done instead of channelling #JohnMcCarthy. Also, https://xkcd.com/224/

@DrHyde isn't that just sed '/foo/q' and sed -n '/foo/,$ p'?
