Choice of BLS12-381 #5

I just wanted to clarify the "yes, I know" comment in the README:

"It currently supports the BLS12-381 (Barreto-Lynn-Scott) (yes, I know) construction."

Is there something wrong with BLS12-381? :)

I'm just guessing but the way I read it is that there is an abbreviation collision.

BLS => {Barreto-Lynn-Scott, Boneh–Lynn–Shacham}

Correct, that is what I'm alluding to :smile:
