Readme
###Combiner
A module for including files inside files (though it doesn't actually deal with files, it only handles combining the files).
###Features
Combiner handles all the logic behind gulp-includer. It detects cyclic references and mispelled filenames.
Also, it allows for heavy customization.
#customize syntax
Because it lets you define how an inclusion is determined, it allows any syntax.
Examples
let combiner=new Combiner(require("includer-clike-detector"))
// #include otherFile.txt
let combiner=new Combiner(require("includer-comment-detector"))
// //include otherFile.txt
let combiner=new Combiner(require("includer-html-comment-detector"))
// <!--include otherFile.txt-->
let detector=require("includer-regex-detector")
let combiner=new Combiner(detector("!(.*)!"))
// !otherFile.txt!
#customize how files are accessed You can add modifiers to change how the names of the files are accessed, allowing absolute dirs, or creating files out of thin air.
Example:

###API
##Combiner(includeGetter) creates a new combiner includeGetter: a function that takes the contents of a file and returns an array of objects of the form
{
relPath:path, //path of thefile to be included, as extracted from the include statement itself
match:text //the string that will be replaced by the contents of the file
}
##combiner.add(name,contents) Add a file named name (String) that has contents (String) to the combiner, so it can be combined.
##combiner.combinedFiles() Returns an object containing the 'root' files (the ones that are not included by any other file), where the absolute paths of the files are the keys and the contents of such files, the value associated with such keys.
let result=combiner.combinedFiles() //result[fileName]=fileContents
##combiner.buildFile(filename) Returns a string with the contents of the file after being combined.
##combiner.fileNames() Returns an array with the names of all added files.
##combiner.includedFiles(filename) Returns the cwd-relative paths of the files included by the file filename.
##combiner.includedByNone() Returns an array with the names of the files that are not included by any other file.
