Reading justfiles from stdin about just HOT 5 OPEN

/dev/stdin is a great workaround, but it doesn't work on Windows, and it should probably be easier, so I'm going to reopen this.

#1933 is currently open to implement this.

It is possible:

$ echo 'foo:
>   echo foo
> 
> bar:
>   echo bar' | just -f /dev/stdin
echo foo
foo

But note that this method uses /dev as working directory:

$ echo 'a:
>   pwd' | just -f /dev/stdin
pwd
/dev

There is #1933 for adding proper support

@laniakea64 I thought about this. Unfortunately, I really do not like the idea of having the folder switched to /dev when using /dev/stdin as a Justfile...

For now, I worked around it with a temporary file. But I also do not like it at all.

Yeah, me neither. Although there is also this option as a workaround:

$ echo 'a:
>   pwd' | just -d . -f /dev/stdin

Pretty cool.
