`blake3` implements the [BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function](https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3).
This implementation aims to be performant without sacrificing (too much)
readability, in the hopes of eventually landing in `x/crypto`.
In addition to the pure-Go implementation, this package also contains AVX-512
and AVX2 routines (generated by [`avo`](https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo))
that greatly increase performance for large inputs and outputs.
Contributions are greatly appreciated.

## Benchmarks
Tested on a 2020 MacBook Air (i5-7600K @ 3.80GHz). Benchmarks will improve as
soon as I get access to a beefier AVX-512 machine. :wink:

## Shortcomings
There is no assembly routine for single-block compressions. This is most
noticeable for ~1KB inputs.
Each assembly routine inlines all 7 rounds, causing thousands of lines of
duplicated code. Ideally the routines could be merged such that only a single
routine is generated for AVX-512 and AVX2, without sacrificing too much
performance.
