The only argument I have is that it "fits" more with how suckless software
does things. Couple this with the fact that having it isn't any more bloat
than not having it, and I'd think we ought to have it. Two minor arguments.

1. At the moment, keybindings are defined in dmenu.c and so if one wants
to change keybindings, then one has to fiddle with that. All other suckless
apps put the keybindings in config.h (afaik).

2. Future config options that don't fit easily as arguments would also go in
config.h. Depending on how this filter thing filters out (ha. ha.) it could
also plausibly go there.
