Suggested implementation:

This commit overhauls the README to make it more skimmable and immediately valuable to new users: - Add clear value proposition at the top to immediately communicate purpose and benefits - Create 'Why Use libvcs?' section with emoji-highlighted bullet points for key features - Reorganize examples into 'Quick Examples' section that appears earlier in the document - Add helpful comments to doctests to explain their purpose - Restructure content with improved headings, spacing, and visual separators - Convert the 'Core Features' section to a numbered list for better hierarchy - Create dedicated 'Documentation & Resources' and 'API References' sections - Streamline the entire document for better discoverability and readability - Keep all doctests functional (4 passing tests, up from 3 previously) The goal is to make the value of libvcs immediately apparent to new visitors while maintaining a clean document structure that's easy to navigate.
