Closing #856
This particular code has been struck by lightning a couple of times now and is pretty hard to reason about using formal reasoning (e.g. a loop invariant like
self.cursor < LIMITwould seen to have to hold, but it doesn't really). This PR doesn't improve that situation (i.e. the formal reasoning), but it does ensure termination.As a minor side-fix, the code could also panic on line 54 if we hit the middle of a UTF8 character in exactly the wrong position, that is fixed as well.
I'll work on an implementation of this writer in a more declarative style.
