+// Hash is the common interface implemented by all hash functions.
+//
+// Hash implementations in the standard library (e.g. hash/crc32 and
+// crypto/sha256) implement the encoding.BinaryMarshaler and
+// encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler interfaces. Marshaling a hash implementation
+// allows its internal state to be saved and used for additional processing
+// later, without having to re-write the data previously written to the hash.
+// The hash state may contain portions of the input in its original form,
+// which users are expected to handle for any possible security implications.
+//
+// Compatibility: Any future changes to hash or crypto packages will endeavor
+// to maintain compatibility with state encoded using previous versions.
+// That is, any released versions of the packages should be able to
+// decode data written with any previously released version,
+// subject to issues such as security fixes.
+// See the Go compatibility document for background: https://golang.org/doc/go1compat
