`stew` is collection of utilities, std library extensions and budding libraries
that are frequently used at Status, but are too small to deserve their own
git repository.
We use `stew` as a staging ground for code that has yet to be battle-tested.
We also use `stew` as a staging ground for code that has yet to be
battle-tested.
Some of these libraries may eventually be proposed for inclusion in Nim or
broken out into separate repositories.
