gfmtoc 1.1.0

# `gfm-toc.py`

This was intended to be a Python port of Eugene Kalinin’s [`gh-md-toc` shell
script](https://github.com/ekalinin/github-markdown-toc), but I ended up
throwing out all of the original code / architecture, so I’m making a new
repository.

It works basically the same, but has a few more options, including numbered
lists with `-n`! Also, the input file defaults to `README.md`.

### `-h`, `--help`

show this help message and exit

### `-`

Read from STDIN instead of a file.

### `--license`

Print license information (MIT) and exit.

### `-n`, `--number`

Generate a numbered list instead of a bulleted list.

Purely cosmetic, does not effect rendered HTML.

Custom text for the section header. Default: `Table of Contents`.

### `--no-header`

Don't generate a table header.
