prehash
The prehash crate provides the type Prehashed, which stores a value of any type along with a
precomputed hash. This makes it possible to avoid computing large expensive hashes many times, for
example when searching for a particular value in a variety of hash tables.
The crate also defines an extremely simple Hasher, Passthru, which is tailor built for use
with Prehashed, as well as some convenience functions.
