153Design for streams and tables (awk/xargs/dplyr):
154
155```chapter-links-stdlib_42
156X [Lines] slurp-by combine adjacent lines into cells
157X [Awk] each-line --j8 --max-jobs (Str, Template, Block)
158 each-row --max-jobs (Str, Template, Block)
159 each-word xargs-like splitting, similar to IFS too
160 split-by (str=\n, ifs=':', pattern=/s+/)
161 if-split-by only lines that match
162 chop alias for split-by (pattern=/s+/)
163 must-match (/ <capture d+> </capture w+> /)
164 if-match only lines that match
165X [Table Create] table def &place or print TSV8
166 table parse --by-row --by-col (&place), TSV or TSV8
167 table/cols cols name age, or name:Str age:Int
168 types type Str Int
169 attr attr units - secs
170 row emit row
171 table cat concatenate TSV8
172 table align to ssv8
173 table tabify to tsv8 (similar to table parse)
174 table header cols = :|name age|, types = :|Str Int|, ...
175 table slice e.g. slice (1, -1) slice (5, 7)
176 table to-tsv lose type info, and error on \t in cells
177X [Table Ops] where subset of rows; dplyr filter()
178 pick subset of columns ('select' taken by shell)
179 mutate [average = count / sum]
180 transmute drop columns that are used
181 rename (bytes='bytes', path='filename')
182 group-by add a column with a group ID [ext]
183 sort-by sort by columns; dplyr arrange() [ext]
184 summary count/sum, histogram, any/all, reduce, ...
