This crate provides a replacement for the `char` type that is more ergonomic to use.

Because Rust's `char::is_ascii*` family of functions takes `&self`, it's impossible to use them as patterns. This is inconsistent with the rest of `char::is_*`, which takes `self`.

This crate provides `char`-taking variants of the `is_ascii*` family of functions.
