"""Bangs in DDG style without using DDG but just Rofi.

Load a JSON config file to have the bangs available. Rofi should return, using
its dmenu option, the handle followed by your query, e.g. "w burger" if you
want a Wikipedia article for "burger", or at least a much needed
disambiguation…

Config file example:
    {
      "bangs": [
        {
          "handle": "w",
          "name": "Wikipedia",
          "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search={}&go=Go"
        }
      ]
    }

Optionally, a bang object can contain a "raw" key with a boolean value: if
true, arguments are passed without being URL-encoded.

By default this scripts attempts to load your config file from
`~/.config/bangs.json`, but you can specify the BANGS_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable or pass the path through the -c command-line option.
