Experiment first, then modify to make it more robust. Its current form I
think is actually unusable in a live environment and only a proof of
concept it seems.

Append passes the items in as command line or as stdin input? I assumed
as command line params, but the current code totally ignores argc/v and
only takes stdin input. If I'm correct then - it cant actually be used
except interactively in its current state.
