Description

> Just a reminder, there's a minor insignificant difference between the real enigma machine, and this one. The real enigma machine, when shuffling a letter, would ALWAYS change the letter. However, the ruby .shuffle leaves for the possibility that the letter order will leave a letter in the same position it was in before.
