Dynamically choosing a character

When drawing something thats more than just a simple box, having a way to get a character depending on its properties. Any character that's only made up of light or heavy lines can be found using the find_codepoint function. The function takes a Weight for each direction and returns the character fitting these weights. Given the weights Empty (up), Empty (right), Light (down), and Light (left) the character ┐ would be chosen.

use draw_a_box::{find_codepoint, Weight};

let character = find_codepoint(Weight::Light, Weight::Heavy, Weight::Light, Weight::Heavy);
assert_eq!(character, "┿");
