   My initial thought was to have an API where the closure is passed a 
caller-sized byte slice. That has two shortcomings: (1) caller needs to size 
the byte-slice in advance (2) for efficiency, we can't initialize the contents 
of the slice, so (a) this needs unsafe code (b) the closure must be careful to 
write to EXACTLY the specified number of bytes, no more and no less. That 
seemed like a footgun, so I started with these safer APIs instead.
