You mean something along the lines of JavaScript’s String.fromCharCode (or, in
ES6, String.fromCodePoint)?
One of the nice things about that function is that it can take multiple codes.
So I can do String.fromCodePoint(65, 66, 67) to get “ABC”.
If we add that, we should also have an analogue of JavaScript’s
String.charCodeAt/String.codePointAt to do the operation in reverse.
