📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat.
- Regularly updated (last update July 2026), so it's actively maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is thin—no specifics on what functions are included, so you'll need to dig into the code.
- As an internal library, it's useless for players unless you're a modder.
