As an aside, this kind of pattern where you are processing chunks of
input and producing a summary output sounds like a good fit for the
Iteratees style of I/O.
Indeed. I haven't played with iteratee yet, but it seems fairly easy for
the user to add a iteratee interface on top of update and finalize.
basically it seems that Chunk = update and EOF = finalize.
Also, if you want the intermediate chunks to go away, then don't
forget to use strict evaluation when you update the context. :-)
That is unfortunately one of the kinds of bugs that doesn't screw up
the behaviour of the program in a way that is immediately obvious.
yes, you're absolutely right. I did actually forget in an early version
of some code i've got on top of cryptohash, and it took me a good while
to find ;)
