Definitely! I have implemented the ljust
function as per the readme but it would be super convenient to have this already included.
On textwrap, there is a pretty strange edge-case found in downstream blessed library https://github.com/jquast/blessed/pull/275 -- what should be done when wrapping wide characters to a column length of 1? We have no choice but to flow beyond column width. A width of "1" may not even be allowed, or allowed with caveats.
We must also be very careful not to split ZWJ and VS-16 sequences apart.
In the readme, we talk about the example of writing our own custom rjust function. If the most common use case is text alignment, let's just offer it as a public API. They would be the same name and signature as python's,
And text-wrapping interface,
I have previously added support of these (with terminal sequences) in blessed, https://github.com/jquast/blessed/blob/a34c6b1869b4dd467c6d1ab6895872bb72db7e0f/blessed/sequences.py#L141-L239
