When a lot of wordlists are bundled into the executable, it may lead to a bloated binary size. To mitigate that for the typical use cases, there should be a build option to only include subsets of the wordlists. This could be done for example with a regular expression together with some kind of flags to include all. The nix flake will always include every word list.

Maybe this isnt even a problem. If the binary size is still below like 50mb in ReleaseFast, this is not necessary.
