Small Doc

reformat(format: object, data: object)

Transform the flat object data into the format of format.
Values/Keys in format with < and > sorrounding them will be swapped with corrosponding values in data . By adding : you can coerse the values into specific types EG: <value:Number> (value will be coersed into Number type)

reformat.unsafe(format: object, data: object)

This is the same as reformat except it doesn't check if format and data are actually objects

Why

This was made because I found a very interesting question on stack overflow
The use cases are numerous, but I coudn't personally think of anything
