multi-language rules aided by special rules for languages or even projects. Originally, the approach used only regular expressions,
treating code as text. However, there is also a mode that can use the [Comby](https://github.com/comby-tools/comby) tool

comby-aided mutation works even better. The key advantage of either approach is that the tool can probably mutate approximately *any* interesting source code you have, and language changes don't force
rewriting of the mutation tool. To use the comby mode, just make sure comby is installed and add `--comby` when you run `mutate`.
