Sometimes we need to replace multiple characters in a given `String`, but both `replacingOccurrences()` and `replacingCharacters` operate on a single `String`/`Character`, requiring multiple passes and thus becoming very inefficient. One such example is to replace all line breaking characters in a string into their non line breaking version, which requires 6 substitution "passes" (space, hyphen, em dash, en dash, question mark and closing brace). By using a `Scanner` as a matching mechanism, we can implement multi-replace in a single pass on the string, greatly improving efficiency. ## Changes - Add new `String.replacingOccurrencesOfCharacters(in:skippingCharactersIn:)` extension to allow replacing multiple characters in a string in a single pass. - Add new `String.nonLineBreaking()` extension to convert a string into a non line breaking version.
- Add new `newlineCharacterReplacement` parameter to `nonLineBreaking()` to allow tweaking the newline replacement behavior. - Create new `Character.newlines` helper to contain all `Character`s in `CharacterSet.newlines`. - Fix docs.
