# This is a utility command to clean up the various constants files.
#
# Usage is : ./scripts/constants.sh <file>

# It will alphabetize keys, and if any key is an array, it will 
# alphabetize or order that array. 

# It does not support multi-level nested objects but objects that 
# look like this: { "key": "value" } or { "key": [] } only.

# The script requires that both `ed` and `jq` are on the $PATH.
