Easy way to find the "root" geohash children

[b-jazz]

It's easy enough to generate the children of a given geohash:

echo "0" | geoq gh children
00
...
0z

but figuring out the single character doesn't seem to be possible:

echo "" | geoq gh children
Application error: UnknownEntityFormat

There is a hack, but it's a hack:

echo "0" | geoq gh children | cut -c2
0
...
z

@b-jazz I think I see what you are saying. What would you think about having a separate command that just lists the roots, something like:

geoq gh roots
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
j
k
m
n
p
q
r
s
t
u
v
w
x
y
z

That would be pretty easy to add -- I drafted up a PR for it here: https://github.com/worace/geoq/pull/24. But also open to any other ideas about how the interface should work, so let me know if you have any ideas there.

That’s a perfectly acceptable solution. Thanks.
