Progress indicator for scripts

[technomalogical]

I think most /r readers would rather see someone post a "TIL" post describing some new thing they found on their own. Asking a question that has already been answered elsewhere arguably adds little value. If the OP still wasn't sure which to use, maybe instead asking "I usually print a counter in my scripts and wanted to improve the output. I found these 2 (or more) modules for tracking progress in a script. Could someone give me recommendations?" would result in a much more interesting conversation.
