Description: Release 20190812:
        Fix bad slosh escapes in strings.
        
        Lexical analysis functions, tokenisers.
        
        An arbitrary assortment of lexical and tokenisation functions useful
        for writing recursive descent parsers, of which I have several.
        
        Generally the get_* functions accept a source string and an offset
        (usually optional, default 0) and return a token and the new offset,
        raising ValueError on failed tokenisation.
        
        ## Function `as_lines(chunks, partials=None)`
        
        Generator yielding complete lines from arbitrary pieces of text from
        the iterable `chunks`.
        
        After completion, any remaining newline-free chunks remain
        in the partials list; this will be unavailable to the caller
        unless the list is presupplied.
        
        ## Function `get_chars(s, offset, gochars)`
        
        Scan the string `s` for characters in `gochars` starting at `offset`.
        Return (match, new_offset).
        
        ## Function `get_decimal(s, offset=0)`
        
        Scan the string `s` for decimal characters starting at `offset`.
        Return (dec_string, new_offset).
        
        ## Function `get_decimal_or_float_value(s, offset=0)`
        
        Fetch a decimal or basic float (nnn.nnn) value
        from the str `s` at `offset`.
        Return (value, new_offset).
        
        ## Function `get_decimal_value(s, offset=0)`
        
        Scan the string `s` for a decimal value starting at `offset`.
        Return (value, new_offset).
        
        ## Function `get_delimited(s, offset, delim)`
        
        Collect text from the string `s` from position `offset` up
        to the first occurence of delimiter `delim`; return the text
        excluding the delimiter and the offset after the delimiter.
        
        ## Function `get_dotted_identifier(s, offset=0, **kw)`
        
        Scan the string `s` for a dotted identifier (by default an
        ASCII letter or underscore followed by letters, digits or
        underscores) with optional trailing dot and another dotted
        identifier, starting at `offset` (default 0).
        Return (match, new_offset).
        
        Note: the empty string and an unchanged offset will be returned if
        there is no leading letter/underscore.
        
        ## Function `get_envvar(s, offset=0, environ=None, default=None, specials=None)`
        
        Parse a simple environment variable reference to $varname or
        $x where "x" is a special character.
        
        Parameters:
        * `s`: the string with the variable reference
        * `offset`: the starting point for the reference
        * `default`: default value for missing environment variables;
           if None (the default) a ValueError is raised
        * `environ`: the environment mapping, default os.environ
        * `specials`: the mapping of special single character variables
        
        ## Function `get_hexadecimal(s, offset=0)`
        
        Scan the string `s` for hexadecimal characters starting at `offset`.
        Return hex_string, new_offset.
        
        ## Function `get_hexadecimal_value(s, offset=0)`
        
        Scan the string `s` for a hexadecimal value starting at `offset`.
        Return (value, new_offset).
        
        ## Function `get_identifier(s, offset=0, alpha='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', number='0123456789', extras='_')`
        
        Scan the string `s` for an identifier (by default an ASCII
        letter or underscore followed by letters, digits or underscores)
        starting at `offset` (default 0).
        Return (match, new_offset).
        
        Note: the empty string and an unchanged offset will be returned if
        there is no leading letter/underscore.
        
        Parameters:
        * `s`: the string to scan
        * `offset`: the starting offset, default 0.
        * `alpha`: the characters considered alphabetic,
          default `string.ascii_letters`.
        * `number`: the characters considered numeric,
          default `string.digits`.
        * `extras`: extra characters considered part of an identifier,
          default `'_'`.
        
        ## Function `get_nonwhite(s, offset=0)`
        
        Scan the string `s` for characters not in string.whitespace
        starting at `offset` (default 0).
        Return (match, new_offset).
        
        ## Function `get_other_chars(s, offset=0, stopchars=None)`
        
        Scan the string `s` for characters not in `stopchars` starting
        at `offset` (default 0).
        Return (match, new_offset).
        
        ## Function `get_qstr(s, offset=0, q='"', environ=None, default=None, env_specials=None)`
        
        Get quoted text with slosh escapes and optional environment substitution.
        
        Parameters:
        * `s`: the string containg the quoted text.
        * `offset`: the starting point, default 0.
        * `q`: the quote character, default `'"'`. If `q` is set to `None`,
          do not expect the string to be delimited by quote marks.
        * `environ`: if not `None`, also parse and expand $envvar references.
        * `default`: passed to `get_envvar`
        
        ## Function `get_qstr_or_identifier(s, offset)`
        
        Parse a double quoted string or an identifier.
        
        ## Function `get_sloshed_text(s, delim, offset=0, slosh='\\', mapper=<function slosh_mapper at 0x10bd01170>, specials=None)`
        
        Collect slosh escaped text from the string `s` from position
        `offset` (default 0) and return the decoded unicode string and
        the offset of the completed parse.
        
        Parameters:
        * `delim`: end of string delimiter, such as a single or double quote.
        * `offset`: starting offset within `s`, default 0.
        * `slosh`: escape character, default a slosh ('\').
        * `mapper`: a mapping function which accepts a single character
          and returns a replacement string or `None`; this is used the
          replace things such as '\t' or '\n'. The default is the
          `slosh_mapper` function, whose default mapping is `SLOSH_CHARMAP`.
        * `specials`: a mapping of other special character sequences and parse
          functions for gathering them up. When one of the special
          character sequences is found in the string, the parse
          function is called to parse at that point.
          The parse functions accept
          `s` and the offset of the special character. They return
          the decoded string and the offset past the parse.
        
        The escape character `slosh` introduces an encoding of some
        replacement text whose value depends on the following character.
        If the following character is:
        * the escape character `slosh`, insert the escape character.
        * the string delimiter `delim`, insert the delimiter.
        * the character 'x', insert the character with code from the following
          2 hexadecimal digits.
        * the character 'u', insert the character with code from the following
          4 hexadecimal digits.
        * the character 'U', insert the character with code from the following
          8 hexadecimal digits.
        * a character from the keys of `mapper`
        
        ## Function `get_tokens(s, offset, getters)`
        
        Parse the string `s` from position `offset` using the supplied
        tokenise functions `getters`; return the list of tokens matched
        and the final offset.
        
        Parameters:
        * `s`: the string to parse.
        * `offset`: the starting position for the parse.
        * `getters`: an iterable of tokeniser specifications.
        
        Each tokeniser specification is either:
        * a callable expecting (s, offset) and returning (token, new_offset)
        * a literal string, to be matched exactly
        * a tuple or list with values (func, args, kwargs);
          call func(s, offset, *args, **kwargs)
        * an object with a .match method such as a regex;
          call getter.match(s, offset) and return a match object with
          a .end() method returning the offset of the end of the match

            ...
            >>> from cs.lex import stripped_dedent
            >>> print(stripped_dedent(func.__doc__))
            Slightly smarter dedent which ignores a string's opening indent.
            Strip the supplied string `s`. Pull off the leading line.
            Dedent the rest. Put back the leading line.
        
        ## Function `strlist(ary, sep=', ')`
        
        Convert an iterable to strings and join with ", ".
        
        ## Function `tabpadding(padlen, tabsize=8, offset=0)`
        
        Compute some spaces to use a tab padding at an offfset.
        
        ## Function `texthexify(bs, shiftin='[', shiftout=']', whitelist=None)`
        
        Transcribe the bytes `bs` to text using compact text runs for
        some common text values.
        
        This can be reversed with the `untexthexify` function.
        
        This is an ad doc format devised to be compact but also to
        expose "text" embedded within to the eye. The original use
        case was transcribing a binary directory entry format, where
        the filename parts would be somewhat visible in the transcription.
        
        The output is a string of hexadecimal digits for the encoded
        bytes except for runs of values from the whitelist, which are
        enclosed in the shiftin and shiftout markers and transcribed
        as is. The default whitelist is values of the ASCII letters,
        the decimal digits and the punctuation characters '_-+.,'.
        The default shiftin and shiftout markers are '[' and ']'.
        
        Example:
        
            >>> texthexify(b'&^%&^%abcdefghi)(*)(*')
            '265e25265e25[abcdefghi]29282a29282a'
        
        Parameters:
        * `bs`: the bytes to transcribe
        * `shiftin`: Optional. The marker string used to indicate a shift to
          direct textual transcription of the bytes, default: `'['`.
        * `shiftout`: Optional. The marker string used to indicate a
          shift from text mode back into hexadecimal transcription,
          default `']'`.
        * `whitelist`: an optional bytes or string object indicating byte
          values which may be represented directly in text; string objects are
          converted to hexify() and texthexify() output strings may be freely
          concatenated and decoded with untexthexify().
          The default value is the ASCII letters, the decimal digits
          and the punctuation characters '_-+.,'.
        
        ## Function `unctrl(s, tabsize=8)`
        
        Return the string `s` with TABs expanded and control characters
        replaced with printable representations.
        
        ## Function `untexthexify(s, shiftin='[', shiftout=']')`
        
        Decode a textual representation of binary data into binary data.
        
        This is the reverse of the `texthexify` function.
        
        Outside of the `shiftin`/`shiftout` markers the binary data
        are represented as hexadecimal. Within the markers the bytes
        have the values of the ordinals of the characters.
        
        Example:
        
            >>> untexthexify('265e25265e25[abcdefghi]29282a29282a')
            b'&^%&^%abcdefghi)(*)(*'
        
        Parameters:
        * `s`: the string containing the text representation.
        * `shiftin`: Optional. The marker string commencing a sequence
          of direct text transcription, default `'['`.
        * `shiftout`: Optional. The marker string ending a sequence
          of direct text transcription, default `']'`.
