A 1z 26 Cipher

/**
 * @file
 * @brief Implementation of the [A1Z26
 * cipher](https://www.dcode.fr/letter-number-cipher)
 * @details The A1Z26 cipher is a simple substiution cipher where each letter is
 * replaced by the number of the order they're in. For example, A corresponds to
 * 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc.
