William Carroll 3afb56a5e5 Begin supporting run
I'd like to be able to just call `run file.py` and have a program DWIM. I'm
working on run as a step in this direction. Define a simple configuration that
maps file extensions to template strings where "$file" is replaced with the
argv[1].

It basically works but there are outstanding TODOs. See the README and source
code for more information.

# run
Simplify the commands you call to run scripts on the command line.
```shell
> run path/to/file.py
> run path/to/file.ts
```
## How?
Define a run.json configuration mapping commands to filename extensions like
so:
```json
{
".ts": "npx ts-node $file",
".py": "python3 $file"
}
```
Then call `run path/to/some/file.ts` on the command line, and `npx ts-node
file.ts` will run.
## Installation
Install `run` using Nix.
```shell
> nix-env -iA briefcase.run
```
