Text API

This API provides some more general operations on strings and data serialization into and back from strings.

• `text.detab(value: string, tabWidth: number): string`

Converts tabs in a string to spaces, while aligning the tags at the specified tab width. This is used for formatting text in `term.write`, for example.

• `text.padRight(value: string, length: number): string`

Pads a string with whitespace on the right up to the specified length.

• `text.padLeft(value: string, length: number): string`

Pads a string with whitespace on the left up to the specified length.

• `text.trim(value: string): string`

Removes whitespace characters from the start and end of a string.

• `text.wrap(value:string, width:number, maxWidth:number)`

Wraps the provided string to specified width.

• `text.wrappedLines(value:string, width:number, maxWidth:number)`

Returns a wrapper function around `text.wrap`.

• `text.tokenize(value:string)`

Splits the input string into a table, using space as the delimiter.
