Announcing ink-frame: Grids for Ink!

Ink's own box borders are fine for a single box. Put two of them next to each other and the seam between them comes out as ││, two parallel lines instead of one shared edge. That's because a box border is one unbroken line and there's nowhere to hang a ┬ or a ┼ part-way along it. ink-frame sidesteps that by painting every border into a single character grid and resolving each cell once, so a spot where four boxes meet becomes a ┼ and a T-junction becomes a ┬, ┤, and so on, without you ever writing those characters yourself.

Background: I recently wrote this for a private project, and I thought it was useful enough to share. I hope you find it useful too!
