I thought of a worse problem: If acquireLineBreakIterator takes a list of RenderText objects and on some platforms needs to generate a reusable string, where would that string be stored in memory?

It seems like the most logical way to solve this problem would be to rewrite all the line-breaking functions to be part of a line-breaker class, and then the class could store whatever variables it needs to maintain its state. However, this would amount to a complete redesign of the line-breaking API on all platforms, and I am unable to test any platform but Linux.

I could really use some specific help designing and implementing a solution that makes everyone happy.
