Some AI coder: "I" wrote this new thing that searches for hidden strings in files.

Most youngins: Oh wow, that is so useful, I wish I had this years ago!

Us greybeards: Congratulations, you reinvented grep.

This is absolutely a subtoot.

@khleedril I don't think this code actually replicates strings' functionality. I could be wrong, I got bored and rolled my eyes after reading "AI."

@nuintari Yeh, we all care less about the AI. But looking for secret strings in text files is naff, real Hats hunt for them in binary blobs.
