Since you went for the complex config, and additional option i'd find
useful for the ewww rename "flag" would be a string that specifies the
format to use once the title/url part has been computed.  So one can set
it to, say, "eww: %s", or whatever. I know that that use case is already
covered by the possibility of specifying a function, but having to
duplicate the default function just to change the final format string
feels a bit overkill (and i suspect changing the format is going to be a
very common reason to opt for a function call).
