//! Character manipulation (`char` type, Unicode Scalar Value)
//!
//! This module provides the `CharExt` trait, as well as its
//! implementation for the primitive `char` type, in order to allow
//! basic character manipulation.
//!
//! A `char` actually represents a
//! *[Unicode Scalar
//! Value](http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#unicode_scalar_value)*, as it can
//! contain any Unicode code point except high-surrogate and low-surrogate code
//! points.
//!
//! As such, only values in the ranges \[0x0,0xD7FF\] and \[0xE000,0x10FFFF\]
//! (inclusive) are allowed. A `char` can always be safely cast to a `u32`;
//! however the converse is not always true due to the above range limits
//! and, as such, should be performed via the `from_u32` function.
