basic-textBasic Text strings and I/O streams
This is an early experiment! Both the code and the Basic Text format are actively evolving!
basic-text defines several utilities for working with a subset of Unicode
called [Basic Text]:
[TextString] and [TextStr] are similar to [String] and [str] using
Basic Text. Basic Text excludes things like unprintable control characters,
escape sequences, and non-canonical sequences, but preserves any practical
Unicode textual content.
[TextReader] and [TextWriter] are input and output streams which use the
Basic Text format, and which ensure a consistent line-ending convention.
On input, non-text content is lossily converted, and on output, non-text
content is diagnosed as errors.
[TextDuplexer] is a [Duplex] for reading and writing on an interactive
stream using Basic Text.
