Nonbinary output format? #1

Description

@lskatz

Hi, I don't know if this makes sense for the output format, but I was wondering if CoLoRd could output a plaintext format? I am so used to manually inspecting files as a sort of sanity check that having a bespoke binary format might get in the way of our workflow. Or also if the compressed binary file makes its way to another computer without CoLoRd, it is possible that there will be no way to inspect the file.

I understand that it might not be possible with however it's structured and also that it will not be as compressed just like sam vs bam.

So anyway, is there a way to see what's under the hood? A way to pass around plaintext?
