2) I am hashing one stream of bytes, but I do not have them all at the moment so I am passing it to hasher as they arrive(e.g. receiving long message over tcp, but hashing it as we get parts to minimize latency of computing hash after entire message is received)
The digest of a single binary blob should be calculated as-if first submitting all the bytes to the hash function sequentially, and then submitting the size of the blob in bytes as std::size_t. I don't think this can be done through the type hashing interface and has to repeatedly call instead the function which takes a void pointer and size. And at the end of that, hashing a value of type `std::size_t`. Thanks
