Love this, and great job with the test coverage too, I might use this in a project I'm working on right now. Is it effectively feature complete or do you have plans for more?


Is this sarcasm? I don't see how this package is of use to anyone.


It is sincere. If you are working with structured documents, then accessing only an arbitrary line of the file in a performant way (especially if the documents are large) is a useful task. I see it also has facilities for handling CSVs, where its unlikely the user wants individual lines but may in fact want "columns."


Cool, thanks for clarifying. I learned something.
