+## Project status
+
+Actively developed, but this package exists entirely to support [`pitfall`](https://github.com/mbutterick/pitfall) and [`quad`](https://github.com/mbutterick/quad). I have no ambition to make this a standalone library with documentation. I add things opportunistically based on what’s happening with Quad.
