This has been mostly done with changes in the datetime crate's suddenly
supporting locales.
It's still important that the user's locale is touched only once and
cached from that point on, so a struct in output::details has been made
public, along with that module. This will change later as that object
gains more and more uses thoughout the codes.
Use the `locale` crate as a dependency to read in the set
thousands-separator character, and pass this to the file size column,
which uses it to add the separators in.
en_GB uses ","
fr_FR uses "" and just displays the numbers in one go.
Using the datetime crate, add an extra column to the --long view that
prints out the modified, accessed, or created timestamp for each file.
Also, let the user pick which one they want to see based on the --time
command-line option.
- Turn the views and main program loop into structs, rather than just as one gigantic function
- Separate views into their own files
The addition of the git column and the tree view meant that a lot of functions now just took extra arguments that didn't seem to fit. For example, it didn't really work to have only one 'view' method that printed out everything, as the different view options now all take different parameters.
FileName was always a special-cased column, as it was assumed to be the last column in the output. Now, it's explicitly marked as such. This allows the hash marks to be placed before the filename, rather than at the start of the line.
There's still a lot to do, but this is actually *something*. The tree hierarchy is displayed using hashes at the start of a line. I want to have it just before the filename, but this will need some changes to the way that columns are handled.
Instead of stripping the ANSI formatting characters from our strings, work out the length without them and use that. This is per-column, but most of them are simple (just the same number of characters in the non-coloured string).
Sometimes, this is really simple: for example, trwxrwxrwx permissions strings are always going to be ten characters long, and the strings that get returned are chock full of ANSI escape codes.
This should have a small benefit on performance.
