Notes:

1. Best used with something like alias sp='spawn.sh ' in your shell's rc file
2. Further aliasing: alias vv='spawn.sh vim' will vim each file argument in a new terminal
3. Wildcards do not necessarily need to be tabbed out; this will work: vv scripts/*.py
4. Use quotes at your leisure, e.g. sp ping "-c 10 google.com" "-v facebook.com" youtube.com
