This module provides a utility method, "to_identifier" for converting an arbitrary string into a readable representation using the ASCII subset of "\w" for use as an identifier in a computer program. The intent is to make unique identifier names from which the content of the original string can be easily inferred by a human just by reading the identifier. If you need the full set of "\w" including Unicode, see the subclass String::ToIdentifier::EN::Unicode. Currently, this process is one way only, and will likely remain this way. The default is to create camelCase identifiers, or you may pass in a separator char of your choice such as "_". Binary char groups will be separated by "_" even in camelCase identifiers to make them easier to read, e.g.: "foo_2_0xFF_Bar".
