Options:

COMMAND the command to be executed
'&&' / AND "AND" logical operator
'||' / OR "OR" logical operator
'|' / PIPE pipe operator
Run command chained together with operators.
NOTE: Remember to quote '&&', 'OR' and '|' operators, otherwise
they'll get captured by the shell and not be passed to the 'x'
program!
Examples:
Measure the time of two commands:
$ time x sleep 1 '&&' sleep 2
# equivalent to:
$ time sh -c 'sleep 1 && sleep 2'
Notify when either of the commands finish:
$ boop x cmd-1 '||' cmd-2
