Simble

Simple, tiny symbols. Human-readable strings up to 8 bytes long that can be stored inline and manipulated efficiently.

Why would I want this?

If:

• you are working with human-readable strings that never exceed 8 bytes
• the set of strings is not fixed at compile time, so you can't use an enum

Then Simble offers:

• efficient storage
• fast comparisons and hashing

Optional features

• serde: Lexical and Printable both serialize/deserialize like a restricted String

Current nightly features

Enable with the nightly feature:

• const fns, so that you can define symbols that will be parsed at compile time
