New Functionality

Do you want to work with large arrays of separate strings? There is a way! The following code is now valid:

from stringzilla import Str, File, Strs

text: Str = Str('... very large string or file ...')
lines: Strs = text.split(separator='\n')
lines.sort()
lines.shuffle(seed=42)

sorted_copy: Strs = lines.sorted()
shuffled_copy: Strs = lines.shuffled(seed=42)

lines.append(shuffled_copy.pop(0))
lines.append('Pythonic string')
lines.extend(shuffled_copy)
