      1 typist
      2 ======
      3 Simple typing tutor.
      4 
      5 Key idea: you will type more of what you've already typed. Why not
      6 practice off of what you've already written?
      7 
      8 typist takes existing files as arguments, reduces them to typeable lines
      9 and then times how long it takes to get it right (and how many tries).
     10 
     11 Examples
     12 --------
     13 I've implemented the basics. Give it a whirl!
     14 
     15   # practice some Perl
     16   $ typist typist # type some Perl
     17 
     18   # practice large shell commands
     19   $ grep '.\{25,\}' ~/.bash_history | typist
     20 
     21 For added UX, wrap with rlwrap(1) or similar (only works for
     22 invocations of the form `typist FILE ...`, since it bakes stdin).
