1. ? text_rows

   Why is the function text_rows() called that name when it
   sets and returns the number of lines ?

Aren't rows the same as lines?

When dealing with text layout, it's fairly traditional to think of text as
rows and columns. But I always have to stop for a moment to convert to
{x,y}, which is my internal schema of thinking about it.

  If you read the description in the library document
  the description talks about lines and never mentions rows,
  this seems to be inconsitent and would be very confusing to
  a new user.
