Support scrambling

[peterp]

I think of scrambling as a generic method for non-specific transformations. The idea is that a given string is randomly shifted:

the DOG ate the cheese! becomes shx SAS weq sss snmwlx. I would love to be able to specify characters that should not be transformed:

copycat.scramble(input, { preserve: ['@', ' ', '!'] })

A person may want to use this is they need to preserve the visual weight, or layout of textual content.

copycat.scramble(input, { preserve: ['@', ' ', '!'] })

I really like this API!

would be possible to use word dictionary instead of just a random string?

Hey @d3v0ps, do you mean for scrambling specifically? Or more generally?

You can do something like this for now:

import { copycat, faker } from 'copycat'

copycat.oneOf('some-input-value', faker.locales.en.word.noun)
// => 'infrastructure'

Would that work in your use case?
