Usage

search-replace <json-table> [<input-file> [<output-file>]]

Where <json-table> is either:

• an object with search strings as keys and replacement strings as values, e.g. {"search": "replace"}
• an array of arrays containing search and replacement string pairs, e.g. [["search1", "replace1"], ["search2", "replace2"]]
• a filename preceeded by @, such as @table.json, and the file should contain the replacement table in one of the two JSON formats described above

In the second form, the order of replacements is ensured to follow the order of the array.
