+This package contains all sorts of small helper / utility functionality,
+that did not fit better elsewhere.
+
+It used to be in borg/helpers.py but was split into the modules in this
+package, which are imported into here for compatibility.
+# misc.py is just the moved/renamed old helpers.py for an easy start.
+# over time, more and more stuff shall be moved from misc to other modules.
