/* This code was written by Jim Blandy <[e-mail]> to help
   GNU Emacs better support the gene editor written for the University
   of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne's Ribosome Database Project (RDP).

   Emacs implements line operations (finding the beginning/end of the
   line, vertical motion, all the redisplay stuff) by searching for
   newlines in the buffer.  Usually, this is a good design; it's very
   clean to just represent the buffer as an unstructured string of
   characters, and the lines in most files are very short (less than
   eighty characters), meaning that scanning usually costs about the
   same as the overhead of maintaining some more complicated data
   structure.

   However, some applications, like gene editing, make use of very
   long lines --- on the order of tens of kilobytes.  In such cases,
   it may well be worthwhile to try to avoid scanning, because the
   scans have become two orders of magnitude more expensive.  It would
   be nice if this speedup could preserve the simplicity of the
   existing data structure, and disturb as little of the existing code
   as possible.

   So here's the tack.  We add some caching to the scan_buffer
   function, so that when it searches for a newline, it notes that the
   region between the start and end of the search contained no
   newlines; then, the next time around, it consults this cache to see
   if there are regions of text it can skip over completely.  The
   buffer modification primitives invalidate this cache.

   (Note: Since the redisplay code needs similar information on
   modified regions of the buffer, we can use the code that helps out
   redisplay as a guide to where we need to add our own code to
   invalidate our cache.  prepare_to_modify_buffer seems to be the
   central spot.)

   Note that the cache code itself never mentions newlines
   specifically, so if you wanted to cache other properties of regions
   of the buffer, you could use this code pretty much unchanged.  So
   this cache really holds "known/unknown" information --- "I know
   this region has property P" vs. "I don't know if this region has
   property P or not."  */
