Take it for a spin

```bash

build with nix and run the result

nix build .# ./result/bin/wdict --help

just run it directly

nix run .# -- --help

run it without cloning

nix run github:pyqlsa/wdict -- --help

install from crates.io (nixOS users may need to do this within a dev shell)

cargo install wdict

using a dev shell

nix develop .# cargo build ./target/debug/wdict --help

...or a release version

cargo build --release ./target/release/wdict --help ```
