`ASCIIString` and `ASCIICharacter` types for Swift offering validation and lossy conversion from `String`.

Complete unit test coverage.

## Getting Started

### Swift Package Manager (SPM)

1. Add SwiftASCII as a dependency using Swift Package Manager.

   - In an app project or framework, in Xcode:

     - Select the menu: **File → Swift Packages → Add Package Dependency...**

     - Enter this URL: `https://github.com/orchetect/SwiftASCII`

   - In a Swift Package, add it to the Package.swift dependencies:

     ```swift

     .package(url: "https://github.com/orchetect/SwiftASCII", from: "1.1.0")

     ```

2. Import the library:

   ```swift

   import SwiftASCII

   ```

### ASCIIString

```swift

// failable init

ASCIIString(exactly: "An ASCII String.") // succeeds

ASCIIString(exactly: "Ãñ ÂŚÇÏÎ Strïńg.") // nil

// lossy string conversion making ASCII-compatible substitutions

ASCIIString("An ASCII String.") // "An ASCII String." (unchanged)

ASCIIString("Ãñ ÂŚÇÏÎ Strïńg.") // "An ASCII String." (substituted)

// lossy string conversion through String literal type inference

let str: ASCIIString = "Ãñ ÂŚÇÏÎ Strïńg."

print(str) // "An ASCII String." (substituted)

```

```swift

let asciiString = ASCIIString("ÂŚÇÏÎ")

// returns typed as String

asciiString.stringValue // "ASCII"

// returns Data representation of string

asciiString.rawData // Data([0x41, 0x53, 0x43, 0x49, 0x49])

```

### ASCIICharacter

```swift

// failable init

ASCIICharacter(exactly: "A") // succeeds

ASCIICharacter(exactly: "Ω") // nil

// lossy string conversion making ASCII-compatible substitutions

ASCIICharacter("A") // "A" (unchanged)

ASCIICharacter("Ã") // "A" (substituted)

// lossy character conversion through Character literal type inference

let char: ASCIICharacter = "Ä"

print(char) // "A" (substituted)

// failable ASCII integer literal init

ASCIICharacter(65) // "A"

ASCIICharacter(300) // nil

```

```swift

let asciiString = ASCIICharacter("Ä")

// returns typed as Character

asciiString.characterValue // Character("A")

// returns ASCII integer literal

asciiString.asciiValue // 65

// returns Data representation of character

asciiString.rawData // Data([0x41])

```
