You can write a Lua script and I'll run it on my codebase and tell you what its
output was, including both stdout as well as the git diff of changes it made to
- the filesystem. That way, you can get more information about the code base, or
- make changes to the code base directly.

- Also, I'm going to be putting this Lua script into JSON, so please don't use

- for string literals, so I don't have to escape the double quotes.

- There will be a global called `search` which accepts a regex (it's implemented
- using Rust's regex crate, so use that regex syntax) and runs that regex on the
- contents of every file in the code base (aside from gitignored files), then
- returns an array of tables with two fields: "path" (the path to the file that
- had the matches) and "matches" (an array of strings, with each string being a
- match that was found within the file).
