## ❄ (Not So) Frequently Asked Questions
1) > When is Barentsz particularly useful?

    _When e.g. adding a class to some package and you want it to be picked up 
    in your application, without having to add an import or registration 
    somewhere._

2) > Does Barentsz require my classes to be compromised (e.g. with inheritance or a decorator or something)?

    _No, never._

3) > What must I do for Barentsz to discover my class (or function, attribute, etc.)?

    _Nothing special. Just make sure that the path that is explored is a Python package._

4) > Why do the "Help documentation" sections contain this "\<BLANKLINE\>"?

    _That's because this documentation is under [doctest](https://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html).
    It helps to ensure that the documentation is always up to date._

5) > What's with the funny name?

    _Well... since this library is all about exploring and discovering and because
    I really enjoyed the cold north, I thought it to be a fitting name._

6) > What is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?

    _Haven't got a clue, what are you asking me for anyway? I suggest you build an AI 
    to deduce the answer (using barentsz of course)._

## ❄ Changelist

### 1.1.0 [2020-08-05]
* Added the `here` function that returns the directory of the caller of that function. 
* Added the `discovery` function that can conveniently find types using the current dir and a given class.
* Added `exclude` to `discover_classes` to allow for excluding one or more types from discovery.
* Fix for double discovered classes.

### 1.0.0 [2020-07-28]
* First release. 🎉
