[!IMPORTANT] In an era where human cognitive load is depleted by the arduous task of locating the · (U+00B7) or • (U+2022) keys, this library provides an abstracted, enterprise-grade interface for character retrieval. It is a monument to the philosophy that if a thing is worth doing, it is worth wrapping in a Type Guard and publishing to a registry.

0x01 ABSTRACT

middot is a zero-dependency, high-throughput utility designed for the rigorous demands of modern typographic separation. While the uninitiated may perceive these characters as mere pixels, the discerning engineer recognizes them as C where C ∈ { U+00B7, U+2022 }. This library ensures that C is accessed via a stable, referentially transparent API, optimized for the JavaScriptCore (JSC) JIT compiler.

0x02 TESTIMONIALS OF VERIFICATION

I eschew "Usage" documentation in favor of EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE. The following test cases represent the core invariant logic of the library.

IDENTITY AND CODEPOINT ASSERTION

I verify that the returned string literal maps precisely to the IEEE-754 adjacent memory space allocated for Unicode scalars.

test('identity', () => {
  expect(middot()).toBe('\u00B7');           // Interpunct
  expect(middot('bullet')).toBe('\u2022');   // List Bullet
  expect(middot().charCodeAt(0)).toBe(183);  // 0x00B7
});

TYPE-LEVEL SOPHISTICATION

The library utilizes TypeScript's narrowing capabilities to provide compile-time safety for character validation.

test('narrowing', () => {
  const char: unknown = '•';
  if (isMiddot(char)) {
    // Within this scope, char is strictly type Middot
    const verified: Middot = char; 
    expect(verified).toBeDefined();
  }
});

0x03 PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONAL THROUGHPUT

Benchmark results obtained via 'bun bench' on a Unix-like environment.

| OPERATION | THROUGHPUT | LATENCY (P99) | | --- | --- | --- | | middot() | ~142.5M ops/s | 0.007 ns | | isMiddot(dot) | ~98.2M ops/s | 0.012 ns | | isMiddot(fail) | ~105.1M ops/s | 0.010 ns |

0x04 DEPLOYMENT AND SEMANTIC GOVERNANCE

The lifecycle of this library is governed by a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline, enforcing CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVENANCE.

0x05 POSTSCRIPT: THE EXISTENTIAL JOKE

Since developers notoriously love over-engineering the most trivial abstractions—turning simple key-presses into 400-kb dependencies—I created this library as a satirical tribute to that obsession.

If you appreciate the absurdity of enterprise-grade interpuncts, please share the joke with your fellow engineers.
