catlines

It's like cat, but better!

catlines takes a file name and the range of lines (inclusive) and prints that section of the file to standard output. Useful if you want to pipe to your clipboard, or something like that.

Yes. I know I could have sed -n it, but hey, everyone should learn rust, right?

Added options include displaying the line number, and some customizations on how the line number is displayed.
