Feature Request: Don't wait for input to finish before printing

[exoji2e]

Hi! Cool project, very nice alternative to awk/cut.

It would be nice to be able to use choose on an endless stream, passing on output as new lines arrives on stdin. Some examples:

ping 8.8.8.8 | choose -2 | choose -f "=" 1
tail -f log.log | choose 0

Of course using the approach of printing the match after each line is highly inefficient working on files. Maybe it could be a setting --release-output which by default is not used when reading files, but used when reading from stdin?

Hi @exoji2e I agree, this is one of the things I've been thinking needs some work. Ideally without any need for a flag or switch. Stay tuned.

As an update, I believe this will take some async/await or tokio code but I don't know too much about that. It will happen eventually but I don't exactly how long it will take to get there. I don't think it should take too much work I just need to better understand async.
