When used as a library it provides the developer with the following:

• The LineType enum
• The GemtextLine class, with the attributes linetype (a LineType enum) and line (the full line of text), as well as the methods linkURL (returns the linkURL for link lines, and None for other line types) and text (returns the link text or empty string for linklines, and the text of the line for other line types).
• The parseLine and parseText methods, which return a GemtextLine object and an array of GemtextLine objects, respectively.
