--- Text processing utilities.
--
-- This provides a Template class (modeled after the same from the Python
-- libraries, see string.Template). It also provides similar functions to those
-- found in the textwrap module.
--
-- See  @{03-strings.md.String_Templates|the Guide}.
--
-- Calling `text.format_operator()` overloads the % operator for strings to give Python/Ruby style formated output.
-- This is extended to also do template-like substitution for map-like data.
--
