Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| text_charat | Returns the 0-indexed character (rune) at index in text. |
| text_count | Counts non-overlapping occurrences of substring in text (rune-safe, not byte-based). |
| text_palindrome | Checks whether text reads the same forwards and backwards. ignoreCase/ignoreNonAlnum default false (strict, literal comparison); set both true for phrase-style palindromes like "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama". |
| text_reverse | Reverses text by Unicode code point (rune), not grapheme cluster. |
| text_sort | Sorts text's characters or words alphabetically. by: "chars" (default, sorts runes, no separator) or "words" (splits on whitespace, rejoins with a single space). |
| text_stats | Descriptive statistics for text: rune/byte/word/line counts, a unique-rune count, a letters/digits/spaces/punctuation/other breakdown, an exact per-character frequency table, and word-length min/max/average plus the actual shortest/longest word (ties resolve to the first occurrence). |
| text_wordcount | Counts whitespace-delimited words in text. |
