Vigenère cipher
Vigenère cipher is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Implement a Vigenère cypher, both encryption and decryption. The program should handle keys and text of unequal length, and should capitalize everything and discard non-alphabetic characters. (If your program handles non-alphabetic characters in another way, make a note of it.)
