+** TODO Support configuration file for storing options
+*** 2020-07-15T23:48Z;bktei>
+Support storing options in a ~$HOME/.config/bklog/options.conf~ file
+so individual calls to ~bklog~ don't have to be so long. Aliases can
+be used instead to make ~bklog~ calls shorter, but cron jobs don't
+necessarily source alias files. Explicitly reading options from a
+configuration file would be more reliable, although it complicates
+usage of ~bklog~.
