changed the title
Part of objectionary#4752. Adds a pure-EO `tt.as-ascii` object that reads a single character as its ASCII numeric value (0-255), by widening the character's byte to the eight bytes `i64` expects and reading it back as a number. It is a small helper needed by the pure-EO `sprintf` reimplementation (and shared by the `up-cased`/`low-cased` siblings, which today each carry a private copy). Split into its own PR to keep the change small, mirroring the earlier `tt.is-digit` PR (objectionary#5208). The name follows the `as-...` value family of the core library (`as-bytes`, `as-i64`, `as-number`) and pairs with the existing sibling `tt.is-ascii`. It ships with inline `+>` tests covering the boundaries of the upper-case (`A`/`Z`), lower-case (`a`/`z`) and digit (`0`/`9`) ranges, plus space, punctuation (`!`) and the last printable character (`~`).

Replaces the private nested `[char] > ascii` helper in `tt.up-cased` with the standalone `tt.as-ascii` object (added in #5219), and rewires `tt.low-cased` to call `tt.as-ascii` directly instead of borrowing the helper through the awkward `(up-cased text).ascii` expression. This removes the duplicated ASCII-decoding logic and drops the implicit dependency of `low-cased` on `up-cased`'s internals. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
