The magic is that any input range that produces bytes could be used, and
that byte producing input range can be hooked up to the input of any
reducing function.
Suppose you have a callback that will give you blocks of bytes to hash. Blocks
of bytes come from a socket, but not a blocking one. Instead, socket uses
eventing mechanism (libevent) to get notifications about its readiness.
How would you use the hash API in this situation?
Have the callback supply a range interface to call the hash with.
