`Changelog

- Add CNH Currency mapping: #82$3
- upgraded linter and improved code formatting (#63)$3
- added some missing currencies (#61)
- fixed the BTC symbol (#50)
- fixed the KZT symbol (#52)
- fixed the SGD symbol (#55)
- added TypeScript typings (#53)
- upgraded test libraries & added extra test cases (#62)$3
- the reverse lookup feature was removed (retrieving currency given a symbol) because
there is not a deterministic way to do so (i.e. the same symbol is used by multiple currencies).
- in previous versions, an unsuccessful lookup would return the character. It now returns
undefined` so that it is up to you how to handle the failure.Currency symbols originally sourced from xe, but maintained
and updated by contributors.
