- This avoids having multiple `init()` functions for every combination
of optional parameters
- The API is consistent across all hash functions
- New options can be added later without breaking existing applications.
For example, this is going to come in handy if we implement parallelization
for BLAKE2 and BLAKE3.
- We don't have a mix of snake_case and camelCase functions any more, at
least in the public crypto API
Support for BLAKE2 salt and personalization (more commonly called context)
parameters have been implemented by the way to illustrate this.
Justification:
- reset() is unnecessary; states that have to be reused can be copied
- reset() is error-prone. Copying a previous state prevents forgetting
struct members.
- reset() forces implementation to store sensitive data (key, initial state)
in memory even when they are not needed.
- reset() is confusing as it has a different meaning elsewhere in Zig.
Instead of having all primitives and constructions share the same namespace,
they are now organized by category and function family.
Types within the same category are expected to share the exact same API.
