Mention inspiration for goldie

Great package! Maybe it should be mentioned somewhere that the original inspiration for this idea comes from the Ruby ecosystem (which is where Mitchell took it from).

Thank you! Although I think it's important to acknowledge the shoulder you stand on, I must say I'm not sure about this. I'm not at all aware of that Ruby package, so I don't know if it really qualifies as inspiration?

If you want to formulate something fitting for the readme, I'd be happy to merge it though.

No worries - upon closer inspection, I realized the concept of "golden files" is actually slightly more general than VCR, as it captures comparison against any complex structure -- not just the output of a single network request. I'll close this - thanks for the response!
