    The only difference with real-world enigma is that I allowed string input.
    All characters are converted to uppercase. (non-letter symbol are ignored)
    How it works:
    (for every letter in the message)

    - Input letter goes into the plugboard.
    If it is connected to another one, switch it.

    - Letter goes through 3 rotors.
    Each rotor can be represented as 2 sets of symbol, where one is shuffled.
    Each symbol from the first set has corresponding symbol in
    the second set and vice versa.

    example:
    | ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ | e.g. F=D and D=F
    | VKLEPDBGRNWTFCJOHQAMUZYIXS |

    - Symbol then goes through reflector (static rotor).
    There it is switched with paired symbol
    The reflector can be represented as2 sets, each with half of the alphanet.
    There are usually 10 pairs of letters.

    Example:
    | ABCDEFGHIJKLM | e.g. E is paired to X
    | ZYXWVUTSRQPON | so when E goes in X goes out and vice versa

    - Letter then goes through the rotors again

    - If the letter is connected to plugboard, it is switched.

    - Return the letter
