I don't get why the lifetime is no longer needed but it looks like a nice change.

The PR link is missing.
A long standing pet-peeve of mine: Previously there were a number of different lifetypes associated with the text factory depending on where it came from. This standardizes that, so that all contexts' text() method returns an owned PietText handle. This has the added advantage of getting rid of the weird lifetime in LayoutContext, which will also unblock my macro work.
as far as I understand the reason we needed the lifetime previously is because we held onto a reference to the type, and so we had to be explicit about its inner lifetime; but now that we just hand one out (not a reference) we can elide it? Still feels weird though |

It's odd but I like it a lot.

This is a breaking change in a fairly minor way;
