gollark: Wait, no, this is index in *line* not string.
gollark: Well, this is roughly what you wanted, anyway.
gollark: Horribly messy version:```haskellwithIndices :: [a] -> [(Int, a)]withIndices = zip [1..]doStuff :: String -> [(Int, Int, Char)]doStuff s = (\(lineIx, l) -> fmap (\(charIx, char) -> (lineIx, charIx, char)) $ withIndices l) `concatMap` withIndices (lines s)main = print . doStuff $ "abcd"```
gollark: I reaaaaally don't like the mixing of english and spanishorsomething.
