I think all we need to maintain is the populate_screen_line_starting_pos
array. It's easy to render screen lines one by one from it, and we'll
only ever construct one additional screen line at a time.
I'd hoped to delete other calls to Text.populate_screen_line_starting_pos,
but it turns out we need to update it when editing sometimes. Give up on
that for now; it's a no-op if not needed.
I've been misunderstanding what Text objects are. They can render a lot
of text with a given line height, word wrap, colors in various places.
And I've been creating one for every word 🤦
Unwinding this will take some time. This is just a first baby step for
ad hoc text objects. Turns out I don't need to convert to Text to get
something's rendered width, just the Font can do that.
Thanks to the LÖVE Discord for educating me:

It's just uneconomic to maintain given how little I've used it. I have a
bug right now and no time to port the bugfix to all the complexities of
the B side.
I briefly considered tossing out the entire source editor. But I _have_
been using it to browse logs across sessions. The live editor doesn't
quite cover all my use cases just yet.
We now have duplication in the source editor only for:
* syntax highlighting
* hyperlinking [[WikiWords]]
* ability to hide cursor (when showing file browser or Focus is in log browser)
