Do not feel proud that your build system can generate code for you.

You should feel ashamed that build system authors tricked you into adding a reverse dependency from your source code on the build system.

@GyrosGeier @rygorous @aeva I am amazed how a lot of major filesystems still do not support data checksumming at all.

Random thought.

If public libraries didn't already exist, capitalism wouldn't let you invent it. Can you imagine how many billions Jeff Bezos would plough into fighting the idea, destroying any politician who dared to back it?

Support your local library.

--max-filesize should probably have been called --max-transfersize, if that is what it does

--max-transfersize for the on-wire bytes
--max-filesize for the locally stored bytes

But that would be a breaking change changing the semantics of --max-filesize.

Maybe deprecate it and add --max-transfer-size and --max-file-size (note the extra "-").
