Why does it take the command as a single string argument? Seems like it would make more sense to take it as an argument list, like other "wrapper" commands like sudo, nohup, etc., do.

Probably to avoid mistakes such as `boulette some command || some other command`, which would not happen with `boulette "some command || some other command"`.
It just didn't cross my mind! You've got a point here! I'll rethink the argument parsing.
