// working:

// + list all gists for a specific user (well, currently only the first 30...)

// + get content of a gist by its id

// + edit/push gist (no file renaming, no file removal for now)

// + fork a gist (as long as it's not yours: It's a "feature" by github.)

// + delete a gist

// I purposfully did not add the username and password to the class. If that feels annoying to you, please tell me why it is wise to do so and not to tackle security issues. Also, please tell me how I should handle auth strings in curl... I'm unsure about that currently.

// if the following fails for you, please check if you have to update wslib's curl method by the one in 

// json/extString-curl.scd
