//! Define a wrapper for `Vec<u8>` that will act as Writer, but zeroize its
//! contents on drop or reallocation.

/// A [`Writer`] used for accumulating secret data, which gets cleared on drop.
///
/// Unlike `Zeroizing<Vec<u8>>`, this type makes sure that we always zeroize the
/// contents of the buffer, even if the buffer has to be reallocated in order to
/// grow.
///
/// We use this for cases when we're building the input to a key derivation
/// function (KDF), and want to ensure that we don't expose the values we feed
/// to it.
///
/// This struct is expected to have additional overhead beyond `Vec<u8>` only
/// when it has to grow its capacity.
