1//! Operations on ASCII strings and characters.
2//!
3//! Most string operations in Rust act on UTF-8 strings. However, at times it
4//! makes more sense to only consider the ASCII character set for a specific
5//! operation.
6//!
7//! The [`AsciiExt`] trait provides methods that allow for character
8//! operations that only act on the ASCII subset and leave non-ASCII characters
9//! alone.
10//!
11//! The [`escape_default`] function provides an iterator over the bytes of an
12//! escaped version of the character given.

21/// Extension methods for ASCII-subset only operations.
22///
23/// Be aware that operations on seemingly non-ASCII characters can sometimes
24/// have unexpected results. Consider this example:
25///
26/// ```
27/// use std::ascii::AsciiExt;
28///
29/// assert_eq!(AsciiExt::to_ascii_uppercase("café"), "CAFÉ");
30/// assert_eq!(AsciiExt::to_ascii_uppercase("café"), "CAFé");
31/// ```
32///
33/// In the first example, the lowercased string is represented `"cafe\u{301}"`
34/// (the last character is an acute accent [combining character]). Unlike the
35/// other characters in the string, the combining character will not get mapped
36/// to an uppercase variant, resulting in `"CAFE\u{301}"`. In the second
37/// example, the lowercased string is represented `"caf\u{e9}"` (the last
38/// character is a single Unicode character representing an 'e' with an acute
39/// accent). Since the last character is defined outside the scope of ASCII,
40/// it will not get mapped to an uppercase variant, resulting in `"CAF\u{e9}"`.
41///
