Alexandre Gomes Gaigalas d9cdc118b2 Introduce REUSE compliance
This commit introduces REUSE compliance by annotating all files
with SPDX information and placing the reused licences in the
LICENSES folder.

We additionally removed the docheader tool which is made obsolete
by this change.

The main LICENSE and copyright text of the project is now not under
my personal name anymore, and it belongs to "The Respect Project
Contributors" instead.

This change restores author names to several files, giving the
appropriate attribution for contributions.

Spaced

  • Spaced()

Validates if a string contains at least one whitespace (spaces, tabs, or line breaks);

v::spaced()->assert('foo bar');
// Validation passes successfully

v::spaced()->assert("foo\nbar");
// Validation passes successfully

This is most useful when inverting the validator as notSpaced(), and chaining with other validators such as Alnum or Alpha to ensure that a string contains no whitespace characters:

v::notSpaced()->alnum()->assert('username');
// Validation passes successfully

v::notSpaced()->alnum()->assert('user name');
// → - "user name" must pass all the rules
// →   - "user name" must not contain whitespaces
// →   - "user name" must contain only letters (a-z) and digits (0-9)
