🌸 mtext_spn — the m17n Library's little "how far can we go" counter 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to mtext_spn(3m17n), brought to you by The m17n Library. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job and it does it flawlessly" 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mtext_spn (MText * mt, MText * accept)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the whole mission here is: search an M-text for a set of characters. that's it. that's the gig 🎀

mtext_spn() returns the length of the initial segment of M-text mt1 that consists entirely of characters in M-text mt2.

like. it walks along the start of your text and counts how many characters in a row are all members of that accept-set, and the second it hits a character that isn't in the set, it stops and hands you the count. no cap. 🔥

heads up, the synopsis names the two args mt and accept, while the description calls them mt1 and mt2 — same two M-texts, just different nicknames. iykyk 💀
