This crate provides the ability to create globally unique (per input value), human-readable
Symbols at compile-time as well as at run-time, that are meant to be reminiscent of the
Symbol type in the Crystal programming language.
Where this crate differs is the alphabet and length of our Symbol is a bit more restrictive,
allowing us to encode the entire text of each Symbol as a u128 internally. The only caveat
is we are limited to 25 characters of length and an alphabet consisting of lowercase a-z as
well as _. No other characters are permitted.
The Symbol type can be created at compile-time using the convenient s! macro, and can also
be created using the TryFrom<AsRef<str>> impl at runtime, though this is not as efficient as
doing this at compile-time using the s! macro.
The Symbol type can also be turned into a String via a convenient Into<String> impl.
We also provide the ability to define custom alphabets that use the more general CustomSymbol
type via a handy custom_alphabet! macro, allowing you to alter these restrictions directly
(smaller alphabet = larger max length for a symbol) and add support for other languages or less
restrictive character sets. The only invariant that can't be customized at the moment is
CustomSymbol will always use a u128 as its backing data store.
See the docs for Symbol and s! for more detailed information.
