Crate charx

A replacement for char

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.

Examples

This works:

"hello".trim_start_matches(char::is_numeric);

This doesn’t:

"hello".trim_start_matches(char::is_ascii_digit);

This crate provides an alternative:

"hello".trim_start_matches(charx::is_ascii_digit);
