…r; N] To make it more convenient to work with fixed-size ascii arrays (`[AsciiChar; N]`), add the following trait impls: - Just as there is an impl of `From` in the direction `[AsciiChar] → AsciiStr`, add also `[AsciiChar; N] → AsciiStr`. - Just as there is an impl of `AsRef` in the direction `[AsciiChar] → AsciiStr`, add also `[AsciiChar; N] → AsciiStr`.
`literal!("An ascii string")` enables us to write a fixed-size,
compile-time ascii string in the same manner as we would use `b"A byte
string"` to write a fixed-size, compile-time byte string.
This is the only way to (safely) have a const ascii string.

This seems to be currently the only way to (safely) write a string such that its validity is checked at compile-time.
