+This is a shallow fork of [mithril.js](https://mithril.js.org/) with some
+functionality removed to save a few bytes. In particular:
+
+- No routing
+- No XHR wrapper
+- No URL helper utilities
+- 'throw' errors instead of console.error() (nothing to do with size, just makes it easier to capture errors)
+
+There's room for further optimization, but that easily runs into diminishing
+returns. This'll do for now.
