Screenshots can be HEIF images

Using the following command allows screenshots to be saved as HEIF images (.heic extension):

defaults write com.apple.screencapture "type" -string "heic"

I've been using this setting for years. Is this project semi-abandoned? Odd that there's no update. Or is a pull request needed? The resulting files are much smaller, with no loss in quality. (Much more recent, evolved algorithm. Facebook even supports HEIC uploads. (Twitter doesn't, for such tools, I used a quick action to convert to jpeg.)

FYI @elvey : if you want to automate this for your macOS User, I have incorporated this here using the useScreenshotsFormat='heic' setting:
