// RuneStylesheet maps runes to stylings.
type RuneStylesheet map[rune]Styling

// MarkLines provides a way to construct a styled text by separating the content
// and the styling.
//
// The arguments are groups of either
//
// * A single string, in which case it represents an unstyled line;
//
// * Three arguments that can be passed to MarkLine, in which case they are passed
//   to MarkLine and the return value is used as a styled line.
//
// Lines represented by all the groups are joined together.
//
// This function is mainly useful for constructing multi-line Text's with
// alignment across those lines. An example:
//
//   var stylesheet = map[rune]string{
//       '-': Reverse,
//       'x': Stylings(Blue, BgGreen),
//   }
//   var text = FromMarkedLines(
//       "foo      bar      foobar", stylesheet,
//       "---      xxx      ------"
//       "lorem    ipsum    dolar",
//   )
