asciiset

Summary

asciiset is an ASCII character bitset.

Bitsets are fast and memory-efficient data structures for storing and retrieving information using bitwise operations.

asciiset is an extension of the asciiSet data structure from the Go Standard library source code.

Possible applications include checking strings for prohibited ASCII characters, and counting unique ASCII characters in a string.
