Description
The file.line state (and its equivalent file.line module) is really hard to understand and use. While better documentation would help, I think both the module function and the state function simply wants to do too much. Therefor, it will be really hard to document and really hard for users to properly be able to use.
Proposal:
- Deprecate
file.linestate/module. - Introduce a
linestate/module with more granular methods. - This issue will be a collection of use-cases that the module and state should cover.
What do you think of this? If I get a couple of thumbs up I can get started adding use cases.
