Default behavior

• Dry-run by default.
• Only UTF-8 valid input arguments and filenames.
• Works on files and symlinks (ignores directories).
• Accepts multiple files as arguments.
• Accepts a regex to generate matches. These expressions have same limitations of regex crate. It supports capture groups.
• If max depth is not provided to recursive mode, it is assumed infinite.
• Does not generate backups.
• Output is colored.
• Ignore hidden files and directories.
