Kartik K. Agaram 69c5d844cc remove some memory leaks from rendered fragments
All signs so far seem to be that CPU is cheap for this application, but
memory is expensive. It's easy to get sluggish if the GC comes on.

After some experiments using https://github.com/yaukeywang/LuaMemorySnapshotDump,
one source of memory leaks is rendered fragments (https://love2d.org/wiki/Text
objects). I need to render text in approximately word-sized fragments to
mostly break lines more intelligently at word boundaries.

I've attached the files I used for my experiments (suffixed with a '.')

There's definitely still a leak in fragments. The longer I edit, the
more memory goes to them.

Kartik K. Agaram 6ba10b4de6 fix a corner case when selecting text
The hard part here is keeping click-drag selection working (without
pressing and holding shift).

Kartik K. Agaram fe170fc579 experiment: blinking cursor
I've tried to keep the time period of the blinking similar to my
terminal.

Honestly I'm no longer sure if any of my experiments are showing a
statistically significant result. Let's see how it feels over a period
of time.

This still isn't ideal. On my Linux laptop for some reason the window

Kartik K. Agaram 1326914d7b select text with shift + mouseclick
It's still a bit simple-minded. Most software will keep the first bound
fixed and move the second. Lines currently has the bounds in a queue of
sorts. But I have a test to indicate the behavior that is definitely
desired. We'll see if we need it to get more complex.

Kartik K. Agaram b69801bdf1 highlight selection while dragging
Mouse stuff is pretty strenuous. For the first time I have to be careful
not to recompute too often. And I ran into a race condition for the
first time where resetting line.y within App.draw meant mouse clicks
were extremely unlikely to see line.y set.

Kartik K. Agaram 670886240f after much struggle, a brute-force undo
Incredibly inefficient, but I don't yet know how to efficiently encode
undo mutations that can span multiple lines.

There seems to be one bug related to creating new drawings; they're not
spawning events and undoing past drawing creation has some weird
artifacts. Redo seems to consistently work, though.

Kartik K. Agaram 8d5ac5da75 keep one screen line of overlap on pagedown
I'm now extracting the concern of computing
line.screen_line_starting_pos out of Text.draw. Earlier
I had to make sure I ran through the whole line to compute
screen_line_starting_pos, but that had the side-effect of updating
Screen_bottom1.pos as well with lines that had never been rendered.

In this process I hit my first bug due to an accidental global. It
doesn't show up in the patch because I accidentally deleted a local
declaration. (I thought I didn't need screen_line_starting_pos anymore,
deleted everywhere, then brought it back everywhere from the bottom of
the function up, but forgot to put back the very first occurrence.)

The amount of yoyoing this caused between App.draw and Text.draw, I very
much have spaghetti on my hands.

Accidental globals are _terrible_ in a program with tests. Cross test
contamination X-(

Kartik K. Agaram 37f1313b16 first successful pagedown test, first bug found by test
I also really need to rethink how people debug my programs. My approach
of inserting and deleting print() takes a lot of commitment. I need my
old trace-based whitebox testing idea. However, in my past projects I
never did figure out a good framework for tweaking how verbose a trace
to emit.

Perhaps that's too many knobs. Perhaps we just need a way to run a
single test with the most verbose trace possible. Then it's just a
matter of having the trace tell a coherent story? But even if the trace
stays out of program output in that situation, it's still in the
programmer's face in the _code_. Ugh.

Current plan: ship program with maximum tests and zero commented-out
prints. If you want to debug, insert prints. This is better than
previous, text-mode, projects just by virtue of the stdout channel being
dedicated to debug stuff.
