Usage

var Metalsmith = require('metalsmith')
var collectionGrouping = require('metalsmith-collection-grouping')
 
var metalsmith = new Metalsmith(__dirname)
  .use(collectionGrouping({
    posts: {
      groupBy: 'category',
      meta: 'posts/categories.json'
    },
    projects: {
      groupBy: 'year',
      meta: {
        2014: {
          title: 'Projects from 2014'
        },
        2014: {
