+Prints a colorized hexdump where each value has a different color.

+![screenshot of xcd printing it's first 512 bytes](./xcd_screenshot.png)
+
+Inspired by <https://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/xcd.html>
+which uses 256-color, while this implementation uses
+24 bit/8 bit-per-pixel RGB via ISO/IEC 8613-6 SGR 38/SGR 48 with
+parameter 2 (direct RGB color), as implemented by most terminals.
