West (Zephyr’s meta-tool)

In European tradition, a zephyr is a light wind or a west wind, named after Zephyrus, the Greek god or personification of the west wind. Don’t worry, this is not going to be a lesson in Greek methodology. Rather, it is an attempt to find a “possible” explanation why the Zephyr project in so many cases refers to and relies on a small, inconspicuous but essential meta-tool called west[1]. What this meta-tool is capable of doing can be read in detail at section west in the Zephyr project documentation.
