Add executable file with ability to pipe text to say.js using STDIN

Same way say works on Mac OS.

Since say name is already taken, maybe says nsay or msay. Don't really care about the name.

Are you saying that you would like to be able to do the following:

echo "hello" | says

Which will behave exactly like using the built-in OSX command:

echo "hello" | say

Maybe the word "binary" is a bit misleading and "executable" would be more accurate.

However, I agree with @tlhunter that having say in the command line already defeats the point of having says additionally on OS X.

But it would be nice to have a cross-platform CLI command.

@tlhunter -

Yes, the command would essentially mimic the basic functionality of the existing say command on Mac OS, but it would also provide all the additional options say.js has.
