Current status:
* It crawls with all kinds of nice parameters but stores everything in memory
until dumping a giant JSON blob at the end.
* --It crawls from hard-coded values and spits a bunch of stuff to
stdout.~~

## Todo
2014-04-25 21:54:24 -05:00
(In approximate order of priority)
* Apply peer-age filter to results
* Stream JSON rather than accumulate into a giant array.
* Add timeout option.
* Graceful cleanup on Ctrl+C
* Namespace packages properly (outside of `main`)
