Honestly, I was hoping for something like the `tree` command. I've implemented that algorithm before, but it was painful and not portable.

These trees are definitely cooler and more complex but maybe fewer use cases. Once you start dealing with more than a few layers, the output is going to line-wrap in a terminal. For larger trees, DOT [1] is probably more suitable.

DOT is fantastic, and trivial to output, highly recommend it


dot/graphviz is great, but it can take a lot of tweaking and reading to get a good looking graph.
