ea: Making CLI Outputs Actionable

ea remembers file paths from CLI output for later use.

Intro

CLI programs like find, rg, clang etc, print out file paths (and line/columns). ea lets you act on them. Here's how:

By running your command through ea, each path in its output get marked with a number in the front. This number can be used to retrieve its corresponding path later for your purposes. Combined with some shell configurations, this can provide a powerful experience.
