A modern replacement for ‘ls’.

Filenames with characters that need multiple bytes in UTF-8, and/or control characters like combining diacritics, would break the grid. `StrExt::width` seems to do the right thing, and there's conveniently a function here (which was otherwise unused) to call that. |

Installation
exa is written in Rust. You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. Once you have it set up, a simple cargo build
will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa.
exa depends on libgit2 for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing --no-default-features
to Cargo.
