Export each util separately

[pjasiun]

I should be able to do:

import { count } from '/ckeditor5/utils/utils.js';

Instead of:

import utils from '/ckeditor5/utils/utils.js';
const count = utils.count;

I'm actually thinking about implementing each util in a separate file. We could get rid of the file named util.js which looks funny in ckeditor5-utils package.

Another argument for splitting utils will be that we'll be adding more and more functions to util.js and at some point we may end up with one huge file, like in CKE4. Module per function, like it's done by lodash, keeps things short and neat.

If you found it reasonable you can group these utils in folders like dom utils are grouped.

Thanks, I'll consider it.

How would we name it? misc/? Then we'll have to answer the question what falls into miscellaneous and what not :P.

We have a proud tradition of creating utils inside utils :D

But seriously, there is a big group of utils which helps us dealing with collections (arrays, maps and iterable). We could have them in one folder (together with a diff util) and the rest (spy, uid and mix) could be directly in the main directory. The problem is how to call such folder, since we already have collection util which is something different.

BTW: who use spy util, and why not sinon?

I do not think we should have a folder for miscellaneous utils since the whole repository is for it :P

Sounds unclear for me. I would just KISS and leave things at the root so we don't waste much more time talking about it.
