These functions are technically independent of the hash, but the way we call them is not. Since we only look up certain fixed values in those functions, they're going to fail if we use a different hash. There really isn't a great way to annotate the tests independent of the functions without duplicating a lot of the logic that occurs in the test library, and I didn't really want to do that. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
