tgcom is a command-line tool designed to comment, uncomment, and toggle comments in source code files. It supports multiple languages including JavaScript, Go, and Bash, and can be extended to support more. The tool can handle single lines, ranges of lines, and a mix of both. It also supports handling streams from stdin and processes multiple files and ranges in one command.

• Comment/Uncomment/Toggle Comments: Operate on single lines, ranges, or a mixture of both.
• Multi-language Support: Supports JavaScript, Go, Bash, and can be extended to other languages.
• File Handling: Works with filenames or streams from stdin.
• Backup Creation: Automatically creates a backup before modifying a file.
• Performance: Fast and efficient, does not load the entire file into memory.
• Labels for Sections: Supports labels for commenting sections in the style of heredocs.

1. Language Support:

   • The software must support at least JavaScript, Go, and Bash for commenting/uncommenting/toggling lines.
   • It should be extensible to support additional programming languages.

2. File Handling:

   • Accept filenames as input and work on streams from stdin.
   • Replace the files in place after making changes.
   • Create a backup of the original file before making any changes.
   • Provide a dry-run option to print the changes to stdout instead of modifying the files in place.

3. Commenting Functionality:

   • Comment, uncomment, and toggle comments for:
     • Single lines
     • Ranges of lines
     • A mixture of single lines and ranges
   • Accept labels for commenting sections, such as heredocs with a start keyword and an end keyword in source files.

4. Performance:

   • The tool must be fast and efficient.
   • Avoid loading the entire file into memory.

5. User Interface:

   • Provide a command-line interface (CLI) for user interaction.
   • Allow the CLI to handle multiple files and complex input specifications, such as main.js:10-20 script.sh:4 index.html:#<p>,#</p>.

6. Testing:

   • Include test units to ensure reliability and correctness of the software.
   • Tests should cover various scenarios and edge cases.
