>alines() would work even faster..
I doubt it. mline() should work slowly if you ask, say, for mline(1000), since it has to find the 1000th. carriage return.
But if I pass it the starting position with _mline (the recommended approach), the situation is quite different.
However, alines() might be simpler to use.
