TextShaper
===========

/text manipulation: a package to shape text blocks/

So you have a block of text ...
What do you want to do with it?!?

== Desired Functionality ==

- onelineit
- quoting
- dequoting (including e.g. +/-, diff-ish shit)
- remove whitespace
- removing timestamps
- removing/adding irc quote tags

== Previous work ==

/corpus of past programs -> consolidate/


Interface:
- library code
- (n)curses
- javascript/REST

Consider the pattern:

* things that add and/or remove a thing
* things that alter spacing


== Things to import from my fluxbox keys ==
