10/// A data type suitable for storing sensitive information such as passwords and
11/// private keys in memory, that implements:
12///
13/// - Automatic zeroing in `Drop`
14/// - Constant time comparison in `PartialEq` (does not short circuit on the
15///   first different character; but terminates instantly if strings have
16///   different length)
17/// - Outputting `***SECRET***` to prevent leaking secrets into logs in
18///   `fmt::Debug` and `fmt::Display`
19/// - Automatic `mlock` to protect against leaking into swap (any unix)
20/// - Automatic `madvise(MADV_NOCORE/MADV_DONTDUMP)` to protect against leaking
21///   into core dumps (FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, Linux)
22///
23/// `PartialEq` and `Eq` are only implemented when `T: ConstantTimeEq`. The
24/// safety of comparisons with respect to padding bytes depends on the
25/// `ConstantTimeEq` implementation of `T`.
26///
27/// Be careful with `SecureBytes::from`: if you have a borrowed string, it will
28/// be copied. Use `SecureBytes::new` if you have a `Vec<u8>`.
