This doesn't have to be strictly primitives, just fixed in size. So for example a (u128, u128) would be ok with this. It just hasn't been used that way now as I don't have a way to detect such arbitrary structures.

If these are public, they should have a bit more docs. It is probably worth enumerating the types that this works with. (Notably usize is not one, as it can technically be 128 bits on some exotic systems)

This works for anything that can deref / cast to a [u8] so, String, str, slices of primitives etc.

Those all make sense to me! It will probably be a few weeks until I get around to it -- going on vacation soon :) |

This adds a
specialized-hashersfeature which exposes the existing specialized hasher implementations that were under the nightly-only specialization feature for manual use. To support this, also addsBuildAHasherU64,BuildAHasherFixed, andBuildAHasherStrtypes that can be used in places that expectBuildHashers and which leverage existing infrastructure to create these specialized versions of hashers.
