Embed a character vector into one-hot encoded array

1	embedLetters(names, max.length = 12)

`names`	Character vector
`max.length`	Numeric representing number of letters to keep for each name. Names shorter than `max.length` will be padded with 0s from the right

One-hot encoding will have dimension 28 for 27 lower case letters as well as a space

Binary array with dimension: length(names) x max.length x 28

## Not run: 
# Sample names 
names <- c('amy', 'john', 'cathy')

# Embed 
embedded <- embedLetters(names, max.length = 12)

dim(embedded)
> [1] 3  12  28
