Function: explodeBoundedStringLine[ { string start maxlen -> [chars] chars-read }

status: alpha

The explodeBoundedStringLine[ prim is a support function for the lisp printer: It accepts a string, an integer offset within that string, and an integer line length limit, and returns a printable representation of that the line starting at that offset, up to an including the next newline (but reading at most maxline chars from the string), plus an integer count of chars read from the string.

Note: In the return block, double-quotes (") and backslashes (\) are preceded by a backslash, so in general chars-read need not equal the size of [chars].
