  Description     : adds flavor of interactive filtering to the traditional pipe concept of UNIX shell

percol is an interactive grep tool in your terminal. percol

 * receives input lines from stdin or a file,
 * lists up the input lines,
 * waits for your input that filter/select the line(s),
 * and finally outputs the selected line(s) to stdout.

Since percol just filters the input and output the result to stdout,
it can be used in command-chains with | in your shell (UNIX
philosophy!).

I'd be happy to maintain this collaboratively.

Note that I found out this package through:

https://github.com/peco/peco

... which is similar, but with less features and written in go.
