Description
WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
One needs to usually needs to provide an explicit name with the -o flag if one wants to download a video from Twitter. And that means you can't download a list of videos in a file with the -a flag.
So the feature I would like would be for youtube-dl to automatically pick a video name which short enough. It is most likely that no one wants the file name to be the entire text of the tweet anyway. A good name would uploaders twitter handle (the one that appears in the tweet's URL and the tweet id number which appears in the URL.
