Introduction
Standard ML port of this rope implementation.
This particular rope uses the balancing scheme described in the Purely Functional 1-2 Brother Trees paper authored by Ralph Hinze. It tries to keep the number of nodes to a minimum by joining the strings in adjacent leaf nodes, if joining would not be too expensive.
Usage
The two files are rope.sml and tiny_rope.sml.
rope.sml contains a rope that tracks line metadata (which has a small performance and memory penalty). This is useful if you have line-based operations in mind.
tiny_rope.sml doesn't track line metadata, and is useful when line-queries aren't needed.
Except for the line-based operations appendLine and foldLines, all functions are the same between the two (aside from verifyLines which is just for testing purposes).
Examples of usage can be found in examples.sml.
