Some option to allow the user to specify some program to run upon opening a new tab

I don't think it is possible now to say "open a new tab with wsl, and run 'top' on it". The 'run top on it' part seems to be missing. I guess it is not easy to implement or it would have been already done, as it sounds very handy to me?

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add some new options to wt so you can specify what program (with arguments) to run when opening a new tab.
