Solving nonograms

In my solving logic puzzles, nonograms (aka Picross) have recently eclipsed hashiwokakero as my go-to fairly-mindless puzzle-solving experience.

As a low-effort, mind-clearing activity they're great, but pretty mechanistic - perfect for automation (not that it stops me solving them manually!). So, of course I wrote a solver. Yet again, it's an excuse for practising my Rust, which in turn is a better use of my time than solving the puzzles by hand, even if it requires a bit more concentration.

It's pretty straightforward, and the result is up on GitHub at https://github.com/simon-frankau/nonogram-solver.
