A command line lorem ipsum generator

Based on the idea from @seth at this post i made lorem_ipsum.
It's totally a bit overkill to have it as a compiled program <g>, but it was a little exercise for me with a new language (crystal).

Additionally it has some sugar things compared to seth's easy-to-maintain, easy-to-run shell script, so i hope you find it somewhat usefully.

./lorem_ipsum -h
