Initial release of Jekyll Fast Reader

Build-Time Word Anchoring: Bolds the opening characters of each word directly in your rendered HTML — no client-side JavaScript required for the reading effect itself.
Zero Template Changes: Install the gem, add it to plugins, and build. The stylesheet is injected into <head> automatically.
Flexible Targeting
- Process entire collections via fast_reader.collections, with per-collection options.
- Opt any single page or document in or out with fast_reader: true/false in Front Matter.
- Skip individual elements with data-fr-skip, or globally via exclude_selectors.
Smart Tokenization: Skips stop words, digits, and non-Latin tokens; anchor length scales with word length.
Runtime Toggle (optional): A CSP-safe floating button (with Alt+Shift+B shortcut) flips the effect on/off and persists the choice in localStorage. Supports both default-on and opt-in modes.
Liquid Filters: reading_time, word_count, and fast_reader for excerpts, headings, or any plain string.
Accessibility Built In: Respects prefers-reduced-motion, resets anchors when printing, and advertises the keyboard shortcut via aria-keyshortcuts.

Note: v0.1.0 was yanked from RubyGems shortly after publication due to a packaging metadata issue. v0.1.1 is functionally identical.
