* Documentation

** Implementation

It reads the log line by line and tries to match it with ~WhatsApp~
grammar.

** Options

*** input

Exported WhatsApp log.

*** profile-name

Your WhatsApp profile name. This is required to get stats for /Left/ and
/Deleted/ column.

** Caveats

/Words/ count can be less than the actual count. If the message contains
new lines then they have them in the log too. We read the log line by
line, so it'll miss parts of messages with newline in them.

** v0.1.0 - 2021-07-29
