Support lines

[karelispanagiotis]

How about supporting a marker::Line to read a whole line of the input (including the whitespaces) as a string?

For example I came across a needle in haystack problem where the input was given as:

11
BUBBLE SORT
46
A;KDLJKNF,lMBUBBLE SORTDIHEWN GLM FR &JSALJFLMC

It would be really nice to have something like:

input! {
        n: usize,
        needle: Line,
        m: usize,
        haystack: Line,
}

Thank you for your interest!
Unfortunately, this isn't possible with the current design.

The input text is split by whitespace characters (including newlines) immediately after reading, and the Source trait only provides these split tokens. We cannot restore the original line.

Simply modifying the Source trait definition would be a breaking change. I'll continue to think about ways to support this functionality.
