put string into Image

[morgantomj]

Is there a way to output a string into a raku GD $image ? The C-code version has function 'gdImageString', but I can't find the equivalent raku version.

The function needs to be ported then, I think porting it requires only writing out the function prototype and doing chores like shipping a new release.

For module GD, the feature is availabe in branch dev1 of my
repository https://github.com/jforget/GD/tree/dev1. I will submit a
pull request in the following days or weeks.
