latin1str

This crate is a thin wrapper around encoding_rs that provides types to work with WINDOWS-1252 (aka Latin-1) encoded strings.

The main points about these types is that they:

• Are not nul-terminated
• Contain no nul-bytes
• Are infallibly convertible to UTF-8
• Are infallibly convertible from ASCII
• Are infallibly convertible from a [[u8]][slice]

You can use this if none of the following alternatives fit:

• CStr, which requires trailing nul-bytes
• [str], which is UTF-8 encoded
• [[u8]][slice], which lacks a defined encoding

There are two types provided:

• Latin1String based on String
• Latin1Str based on [str]
