//! rust literal encoders.
//!
//! encodes untrusted strings for safe embedding in rust source literals.
//!
//! - [`for_rust_string`] — safe for rust string literals (`"..."`)
//! - [`for_rust_char`] — safe for rust char literals (`'...'`)
//! - [`for_rust_byte_string`] — safe for rust byte string literals (`b"..."`)
//!
//! # encoding rules
//!
//! all three encoders use rust's native escape syntax:
//!
//! - named escapes: `\0`, `\t`, `\n`, `\r`, `\\`
//! - C0 controls and DEL without named escapes → `\xHH`
//! - unicode non-characters → space (string/char) or `\xHH` per byte (byte string)
//!
//! the encoders differ in which quote is escaped and how non-ASCII is handled:
//!
//! | encoder | quote escape | non-ASCII |
//! |---------|-------------|-----------|
//! | `for_rust_string` | `"` → `\"` | passes through |
//! | `for_rust_char` | `'` → `\'` | passes through |
//! | `for_rust_byte_string` | `"` → `\"` | each UTF-8 byte → `\xHH` |
