This was causing the Dir.readLink test to fail for me locally with error.Unexpected NTSTATUS=0xc0000022. Not sure if PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD is actually possible or not.
I want to take the design of this in a different direction. I think this
abstraction is too high level. I want to start bottom-up.
std-lib-orphanage commit 179ae67d61455758d71037434704fd4a17a635a9

This code is not used by anything else in the standard library or by the
compiler or any of its tools and therefore it's a great candidate
to be maintained by a third party.
Showcase that Zig can be a great option for high performance cryptography.
The AEGIS family of authenticated encryption algorithms was selected for
high-performance applications in the final portfolio of the CAESAR
competition.
They reuse the AES core function, but are substantially faster than the
CCM, GCM and OCB modes while offering a high level of security.
AEGIS algorithms are especially fast on CPUs with built-in AES support, and
the 128L variant fully takes advantage of the pipeline in modern Intel CPUs.
Performance of the Zig implementation is on par with libsodium.
Before:
gimli-hash: 120 MiB/s
gimli-aead: 130 MiB/s
After:
gimli-hash: 195 MiB/s
gimli-aead: 208 MiB/s
Also fixes in-place decryption by the way.
If the input & output buffers were the same, decryption used to fail.
Return on decryption error in the benchmark to detect similar issues
in future AEADs even in non release-fast mode.
stage1 was unable to parse ranges whose starting point was written in
binary/octal as the first dot in '...' was incorrectly interpreted as
decimal point.
stage2 forgot to reset the literal type to IntegerLiteral when it
discovered the dot was not a decimal point.
I've only stumbled across this bug because zig fmt keeps formatting the
ranges without any space around the ...
Previously if a LinearFifo was empty and discard was called
an unsigned overflow would occur. However it is safe to perform
this overflow as a bitwise & operation with 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is a noop
