GNU Make defaults to a single worker, and newer build tools (e.g. ninja) default to the number of physical CPUs.I wish there was an option for 'leave me a little bit of my machine to do stuff'.

When a tool supports both regular expressions and literal strings, which should be the default?
If you default to regex, users can match more strings than they realise (e.g. `foo.txt`) or less (e.g. `foo(bar)`).
I typically see regex as the default, but I prefer the opposite.
I'm experimenting with Hammerspoon on macOS as an application switcher. `Option-Space F` is Firefox, `Option-Space E` is Emacs, etc.
The problem with `Alt-Tab` is that the order changes based on recency. I'm hoping that a repeatable command will be nicer to use.
It's a small thing, but I'm much happier with the output of --version in the latest version of difftastic.
It shows the release version number, the commit hash, and the commit date. This gives you a sense of the age of release, but you still have a reproducible build (unlike build time).
It also shows OS, arch and compiler, because those are common requirements in bug reports.
