go 1.18 embeds vcs info into binaries by default [1] allowing us to provide a
rudimentary version cmd in just a few lines. (version) vcs tags are not
embedded for now - just the commit hash should be good enough for now though.

Apparently that way of detecting data on stdin is not really fool
proof. Instead of improving that let's just swap the order and look for a file
first. yolo.
Instead of the bare bones default config we embedded as a string until now we
can use go 1.16 embed to embed the test blorg.org which makes a much better
starting config (if only to see what's possible).
hugo is nice - but it's huge. I've never built a static site generator before
and thought the world could use one more - it's not like there's already enough
choice out there!
No, but seriously. I love hugo and it has all the bells and whistles and you
should definitely use that and not this. I just like reinventing the wheel to
learn about stuff - and I like the 80/20 rule. This gives like 60% of what I
want already and is tiny fraction of hugo in terms of LOC (hugo without it's
bazillion dependencies is like 80k+ - this is like 500 and very likely won't
ever grow above let's say 5k).
Also org mode is awesome and why not use it as a configuration format as
well. Let's see where this goes. YOLO.
including org files is more complex - e.g. footnotes need to be namespaced to
their source file. org does this by prefixing each included files footnotes
with a number - but even that is not enough as it doesn't guarantee
uniqueness.
As I don't have a usecase for it, I'll avoid the additional complexity for
now.
