// * Is Stable: The returned digest will be consistent across different versions

//   browser versions.
//
// * Is approximately uniformly distributed when the input is uniformly
//   distributed.
//
// * Is NOT optimized for any other distribution of input including narrow

//
// * Is NOT collision resistant: Callers should assume that it is easy to come
//   up with collisions, and to come up with a pre-image given a digest.
//
// Note: This is NOT a cryptographic hash function.
