std.md5
Computes MD5 digests of arbitrary data. MD5 digests are 16 byte quantities that are like a checksum or crc, but are more robust.There are two ways to do this. The first does it all in one function call to sum(). The second is for when the data is buffered.
BUGS:
MD5 digests have been demonstrated to not be unique.

- Computes MD5 digest of several arrays of data.
- Prints a message digest in hexadecimal to stdout.
- Converts MD5 digest to a string.
- Gets the digest of all data items passed in.
Example:
string a = "Mary has ", b = "a little lamb"; int[] c = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]; string d = getDigestString(a, b, c);
- Holds context of MD5 computation.
Used when data to be digested is buffered.
- MD5 initialization. Begins an MD5 operation, writing a new context.
- MD5 block update operation. Continues an MD5 message-digest
operation, processing another message block, and updating the
context.
- MD5 finalization. Ends an MD5 message-digest operation, writing the
the message to digest and zeroing the context.
