// Package varsig implements v1.0.0 of the [Varsig specification] with
// limited support for varsig < v1. This is primarily in support of the
// UCAN v1.0.0 specification and will be deprecated in the future.
//
// # Common algorithm naming
//
// While there is no strict need for compatibility with JWA/JWT/JWE/JWS,
// all attempts are made to keep the algorithm names here consistent with
// list made available at the [IANA Registry] titled "JSON Web Signature
// and Encryption Algorithms" (JOSE.)
//
// It should also be noted that algorithm in this context might in fact be
// a pseudonym - for cryptographical signing algorithms that require the
// signed data to be hashed first, these names commonly refer to the
// combination of that signing algorithm and the hash algorithm.
