Feature Request: write file in place
I typically use dos2unix for stripping BOMs. The best feature of dos2unix is that it converts the file in-place. It would be super nice if strip-bom just modified the file in place.
Desired usage:
strip-bom-cli -i foo.txt
(proposing -i flag to mirror sed's in-place flag)
Of course, I recognize that it prints to STDOUT, but since the target file is truncated before output redirection takes effect, one can't strip-bom-cli foo.txt > foo.txt (results in an empty file).
