Sorry about creating yet another file. I looked at filenames to find a
place to put this in, but I hadn't looked careful enough it seems. I
think this fits in 'textutils.scm' indeed. The updated version of the

You're right. I updated the patch.
Hopefully I haven't screwed up the commit message. :)
