text_lines

In text-lines.cecil:

template object text_lines;
  field lines(@:text_lines):array[string];
  method new_text_lines(s:string):text_lines;
  method indent(tl@:text_lines, i:int):void;
  method as_collector(tl@:text_lines):collector[string];
  method as_string(tl@:text_lines):string;

The text_lines data structure represents a series of lines with newlines separating them. The new_text_lines function breaks a string after newlines into separate text lines. The lines function provides access to the lines of text. The indent function adds count spaces to the front of each text line. The as_collector and as_string functions convert the text_lines object to a collector or a flat string representation, with embedded newlines.
