Sorry, in a setting where a handle isn’t the context, I meant `lines`, not `.lines`, though I was referring _to_ a thing called `.lines`, the multi method. I don’t think we’ve all yet agreed on how multis that can be called as plain routines should be referred to in umbrella term. `.lines` is more “correct”, but it’s less likely to actually work without understanding more, which is a strange conundrum for documentation.
