python script to colorize (shell colors) columns by value
usage: colcolor [-h] [-H] <filenames>
-h: First line is header. (Tries to autodetect even when not set.)
-H: Print this help message.
Reads from files (or stdin if missing or '-') and colorcodes each column
by value.
A picture is really best here:
Cool bits:
- Parses and understands k/m/g/t
- Each column gets its own scaling
- Makes it much easier to scan lists of numbers (especially when with k/m/g/t units) for "what's big/small"
I haven't bothered with any "installation"; it's a stand-alone (python3) script.

Happy to look at pull requests! I've been tinkering with it for years and realized I never "put it out there."
