Summary: [ab]using Unicode to create tragedy
Description:
mimic provokes:
* fun
* frustration
* curiosity
* murderous rage
It's inspired by this terrible idea floating around:
MT: Replace a semicolon with a greek question mark in your
friend's C# code and watch them pull their hair out over the syntax
error

There are many more characters in the Unicode character set that look,
to some extent or another, like others - homoglyphs. Mimic substitutes
common ASCII characters for obscure homoglyphs.
Fun games to play with mimic:
* Pipe some source code through and see if you can find all of
the problems
* Pipe someone else's source code through without telling them
* Be fired, and then killedMaintainer: Mikhail Efremov
