I sort of like this idea. There could be an extra parameter in the 
lineOffset function:

  get lineOffset("foo",tText,"text")

The third parameter could be either "text" or "number". If the third 
param is missing, or if it's "number", then we get the number back as we 
do now. If it's "text" we get the text value. That retains backward 
compatibility.

"Text" and "number" are just suggestions; the actual words could be 
anything that describes the values appropriately.
