Idea: deindent, text wrapping utility

[vindarel]

Make the tilde newline format directive transparent, so than we could write text with indentation in our code, with no indentations in the final string:

(format nil "---~
   +++")
"---+++"

with ~: and ~@ modifiers.

(format nil "---~@
   +++")
"---
+++"

see also https://github.com/sjl/bobbin for wrapping strings.

Could you expand on the format directive? This project seems dead so I have reinvented the whole thing. Looking for new ideas now lol.

The format directives: ~ plus a newline allows to format the format string with newlines, but to not have newlines in the result. ~@ is similar, we can also indent our directive with tabs that we won't see in the results. It's for dev comfort.

This project seems dead

sorry but what project?????????????????

It is going to go under a massive overhaul when I finish my logging library, but it is this. Unless you meant which project I felt seemed dead. I was referring to this one as I did not realize how recent the commits were, I read the date wrong.

Do we need another library? Does this feature not fit here nicely?
