I gave this a go, and am liking it so far. My only real complaints are
that the defaults don't totally match my prejudices. :-)

Having a good default container, and perhaps falling back
automatically to podman if docker isn't running (or just defaulting to
podman) would make this very convenient for one-line
tests/reproducers.
