# The Infinite Monkeywrench (IMW) is a Ruby library for obtaining,
# parsing, transforming, reconciling, and packaging datasets.
#
# Data is obtained via FIXME
#
# Data is loaded into IMW using <tt>IMW.open</tt> which provides a
# uniform interface across a variety of data formats.  The objects
# returned will each have +load+ method which will return data in the
# best form for further processing.  If the data is a YAML file, then
# Ruby's +YAML+ library will be used to return primitive Ruby objects,
# if it is a CSV, then the +FasterCSV+ library will be used, &c.
#
# The main interface to handling data is the <tt>IMW::Dataset</tt>
# class.  It has methods for summarizing, transforming, and dumping
# data to a variety of formats.
