//! This is a library to compare and sort strings (or file paths) **lexicographically**. This
//! means that non-ASCII characters such as `á` or `ß` are treated like their closest ASCII
//! character: `á` is treated as `a`, `ß` is treated as `ss`, etc.
//!
//! Lexical comparisons are case-insensitive. Alphanumeric characters are sorted after all other
//! characters (punctuation, whitespace, special characters, emojis, ...).
//!
//! It is possible to enable **natural sorting**, which also handles ASCII numbers. For example,
//! `50` is less than `100` with natural sorting turned on. It's also possible to skip
//! characters that aren't alphanumeric, so e.g. `f-5` is next to `f5`.
//!
//! If different strings have the same ASCII representation (e.g. `"Foo"` and `"fóò"`), it
//! falls back to the default method from the standard library, so sorting is deterministic.
//!
//! <table><tr><td>
//! <b>NOTE</b>: This crate doesn't attempt to be correct for every locale, but it should work
//! reasonably well for a wide range of locales, while providing excellent performance.
//! </td></tr></table>
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! To sort strings or paths, you can use the `StringSort` or `PathSort` trait:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use lexicmp::{StringSort, natural_lexical_cmp};
//!
//! let mut strings = vec!["ß", "é", "100", "hello", "world", "50", ".", "B!"];
//! strings.string_sort_unstable(natural_lexical_cmp);
//!
//! assert_eq!(&strings, &[".", "50", "100", "B!", "é", "hello", "ß", "world"]);
//! ```
//!
//! There are eight comparison functions:
//!
//! | Function | lexicographical | natural | skips non-alphanumeric chars |
//! | -------------------------------- |:---------------:|:-------:|:----------------------------:|
//! | `cmp` | | | |
//! | `only_alnum_cmp` | | | yes |
//! | `lexical_cmp` | yes | | |
//! | `lexical_only_alnum_cmp` | yes | | yes |
//! | `natural_cmp` | | yes | |
//! | `natural_only_alnum_cmp` | | yes | yes |
//! | `natural_lexical_cmp` | yes | yes | |
//! | `natural_lexical_only_alnum_cmp` | yes | yes | yes |
//!
//! Note that only the functions that sort lexicographically are case insensitive.
