3Growable strings, `printf` into them, error messages (`char **err`), and the pieces of Rust's
4formatting that the Rust implementation's messages show: `{:?}` of strings, `f64` and `f32`,
5`str::trim` (Unicode whitespace), `u32::from_str` and `f64::from_str`. With them, every ported error
6message reads byte for byte as the Rust's.

15## Ported from
16
17[alpha-rust-mesh](https://github.com/rsafier/alpha-rust-mesh) (Richard Safier, MIT) uses Rust's own
18`format!`; this package reproduces the parts its messages depend on. `src/escapes.c` (the code points
19`{:?}` escapes as `\u{..}`) was generated from Rust 1.88's `char::escape_debug`.

21## Tests
22
23`tests/text.c`: `{:?}` of 37 f64s, 7 f32s and 16 strings and 5 `trim`s, each against what Rust 1.88
24printed; the integer and float parsers' edge cases.
