Directory

d
## Build the contents of `directory.md` for The Algorithms/Nim repository
##
## # Usage:
## * Navigate to repo's root directory
## * Execute and save the output: `nim r .scripts/directory.nim > DIRECTORY.md`
## * Check the changes: `git diff directory.md`
##
## # Overview:
## - Walks the current directory for subdirectories.
## - Each subdirectory (but not the root) is treated as a category.
## - The title of the category is inferred from the subdir's name.
## - Walks .nim source files in each subdirectory, non-recursively.
## - Looks for algorithms's title on the first line of the file when it's a
##   doc comment, otherwise canonicalizes the file basename.
## - Prints the markdown header.
## - Prints the collected directory structure sorted alphabetically in markdown.
