+using repl works via `scritcher repl scri_file.scri input_image.bmp`
+
+you type commands as you'd write the specific scritcher commands
+(`doc/README.md`), with four repl-specific ones (semicolons do not apply):
+ - `push`, to push the last written command to the queue
+ - `save`, to write the queue to the given `scri_file.scri` file
+ - `list`, to print the current contents of the queue
+ - `quit`, to exit
+
+After a non-REPL command, such as an effect, the program pointed by
+`SCRITCHER_RUNNER` will run as argument to the `runqs` command. By default,
+the program run will be `ristretto` (as it is my preffered image viewer,
+considering it was able to handle when some images went broke)
+
+this allows for quicker iteration of commands, as you can type a command, see
+the image changes as fast as possible, tweak its arguments,
+and when satisfied, `push` it, and work on the next command, etc.
