--- This package provides routines for computing a commonly used checksum
--- called CRC-32. This is a checksum based on treating the binary data
--- as a polynomial over a binary field, and the exact specifications of
--- the CRC-32 algorithm are as follows:
---
--- Name : "CRC-32"
--- Width : 32
--- Poly : 04C11DB7
--- Init : FFFFFFFF
--- RefIn : True
--- RefOut : True
--- XorOut : FFFFFFFF
--- Check : CBF43926
---
--- Note that this is the algorithm used by PKZip, Ethernet and FDDI.
---
--- For more information about this algorithm see:
