A collection of methods to slice strings based on character indices rather than bytes.

This crate implements the `StringSlice` trait for `&str`,
containing the `slice`, `try_slice`, `substring`, and `try_substring` methods.

## Features

* Uses primitive `&str` and standard `String` types
* `#[no_std]` compatible by default
* Small footprint
  * ~50 LoC excluding blank lines, comments, and tests
  * No additional dependencies (only dev-dependencies)

## Usage

Add `stringslice` to your `Cargo.toml` file:

```toml
[dependencies]
stringslice = "0.2"
```

## Examples

The `slice` method can be used to slice a `&str`.

```rust
use stringslice::StringSlice;

assert_eq!("Ùníc😎de".slice(4..5), "😎");
assert_eq!("世界こんにちは".slice(2..), "こんにちは");
```

The `substring` method is provided for convenience and accepts
separate parameters for the start and end of the slice.

```rust
use stringslice::StringSlice;

assert_eq!("Γεια σου κόσμε".substring(9, 14), "κόσμε");
```

There are also equivalent `try_slice` and `try_substring` methods
which return `None` for invalid input.

```rust
use stringslice::StringSlice;

assert_eq!("string".try_slice(4..2), None);
```
