This is for the sake of the new rST generator (the "transmogrifier") so
we can advance multiple lines on occasion while keeping the
generated<-->source mappings accurate.
next_line now simply takes an optional n parameter which chooses the
number of lines to advance.
RFC: Here's the exorbitant detail on why I want this:
This is used mainly when converting section syntax in free-form
documentation to more traditional rST section header syntax, which
does not always line up 1:1 for line counts.
For example:
```
##
# = Section <-- Info is pointing here, "L1"
#
# Lorem Ipsum
##
```
would be transformed to rST as:
```
======= <-- L1
Section <-- L1
======= <-- L1
<-- L2
Lorem Ipsum <-- L3
```
After consuming the single "Section" line from the source, we want to
advance the source pointer to the next non-empty line which requires
jumping by more than one line.
