Yeah, I came across that and it works great! I just felt like trying to
write my own thing in Rust because it's fun, though I'm cribbing your
paragraph link mode for Exarch.

(One of my other project ideas was a fancy terminal-interface client
with color support, and then I found amfora... so instead I just
packaged it for NixOS and decided to write Exarch instead.)
