Some while loop cases to test:

1. If there is a while(find/rfind), make sure we don't go back/forward such that the match gets found repeatedly.
2. same with while(next/prev_line)

When making changes, lines sometimes get too long. We need something like emacs' auto-fill mode to fold long lines and join short lines.

Describe the solution you'd like
We need a new method autofill(n) with optional n defaulting to 80. It would operate on a narrowed view if present, or on the entire document. We also need an autofill_region(n) that autofills only from mark to point, if a mark is present.

The find methods (find, rfind, find_fuzzy) return a boolean true if found, and move the cursor to the end (find, find_fuzzy) of the match, or to the beginning(rfind) of the match, and false if not found. Instead of returning a boolean, they should return the location of the beginning(find, find_fuzzy) of the match, or the end(rfind) of the match. And -1 if not found.

For example, find("hello") would move cursor to immediately after o if the text is found. find should return the location of h.

add file_reader class, which can read in chunks of n bytes or upto next delim, or upto first delim after n bytes.

add file_writer class, which can write to chunks, and can optionally add delim between chunks.

One option is to port an existing library like https://github.com/gobuffalo/flect to C++, and then get mime to use it.

Add functions for:

• getting the current time.
• parsing time strings
• formatting time to various string representations.

The find_fuzzy method uses a number of different filters to find a match. It should be possible for a user to choose which of these filters to use.

Right now, to delete characters adjacent to the cursor, we need to make a region around it and delete the region, which is slow.

Describe the solution you'd like

On buffer objects,

• a backspace function with optional size_t argument
• a delete function with optional size_t argument

If chaiscript objects can be serialized to json, mime scripts can use that for state tracking, etc.
