words :: String -> [String]
hledger Hledger.Cli.Script
words breaks a string up into a list of words, which were delimited by white space. 
>>> words "Lorem ipsum\ndolor"
["Lorem","ipsum","dolor"]
words' :: String -> [String]
hledger Hledger.Cli.Script
Quote-aware version of words - don't split on spaces which are inside quotes. NB correctly handles "a'b" but not "'a'". Can raise an error if parsing fails.
words'' :: [Text] -> Text -> [Text]
hledger Hledger.Cli.Script
Quote-and-prefix-aware version of words - don't split on spaces which are inside quotes, including quotes which may have one of the specified prefixes in front, and maybe an additional not: prefix in front of that.
unwords :: [String] -> String
hledger Hledger.Cli.Script
unwords is an inverse operation to words. It joins words with separating spaces. 
>>> unwords ["Lorem", "ipsum", "dolor"]
"Lorem ipsum dolor"
unwords' :: [String] -> String
hledger Hledger.Cli.Script
Quote-aware version of unwords - single-quote strings which contain whitespace
