The API exposes modules D, I, and ID with generic functions. It seems redundant. Why not just have generic functions?
Considering the lack of conversion functions from string to encoded or hash, it seems that modules D, I or ID seems not usable in practice.
For the generic functions, Why does the hash function return both a hash and an encoded datatype? It seems only the second one can be used with verify.
More generally, what are the differences between a hash and encoded? Why not just use one datatype?
I am wondering why the hash function takes an encoded_len argument. It seems that this value comes from the function encoded_len. Wouldn't be simpler to not expose encoded_len and let the function hash compute this length by itself?
