> 400+ ASCII 🐮s

What is it? A Swift 5.9 compiler plugin that provides the `#🐮` [Swift macro](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/applying-macros).

It replaces the cow mentioned in the macro w/ one of the ASCII cows

provided by the Swift [cows](https://github.com/AlwaysRightInstitute/cows) package.

### Usage:

```swift

let compilerCow = #🐮("compiler")

print(compilerCow)

```

If no cow matching the string is available, Xcode will produce an error:

*Requires*: Xcode 15beta+.
