    Contains the declarations (and definitions) of various kinds of CRC
    computation functions, function object types, and encapsulated policy types.

    \warning  The sample CRC-computer types were just checked against the
      <a href="http://regregex.bbcmicro.net/crc-catalogue.htm">Catalogue of
      parametrised CRC algorithms</a>.  New type aliases were added where I got
      a standard wrong.  However, the mistaken <code>typedef</code>s are still
      there for backwards compatibility.

/** Computes the polynomial remainder of a CRC run, assuming that \a buffer and

    The division steps are altered so the result directly gives a checksum,
    without need to augment the memory block with scratch-space bytes.  The
    first byte is considered the highest order, going down for subsequent bytes.

    \pre  0 \< \a Bits \<= \c std\::numeric_limits\<uintmax_t\>\::digits

    \tparam Bits  The order of the modulo-2 polynomial divisor.  (\e Width from
      the RMCA)
    \tparam TruncPoly  The lowest coefficients of the divisor polynomial.  The
      highest-order coefficient is omitted and always assumed to be 1.
      (\e Poly from the RMCA)
    \tparam InitRem  The (unaugmented) initial state of the polynomial
      remainder.  (\e Init from the RMCA)
    \tparam FinalXor  The (XOR) bit-mask to be applied to the output remainder,
      after possible reflection but before returning.  (\e XorOut from the RMCA)
    \tparam ReflectIn  If \c True, input bytes are read lowest-order bit first,
      otherwise highest-order bit first.  (\e RefIn from the RMCA)
    \tparam ReflectRem  If \c True, the output remainder is reflected before the
      XOR-mask.  (\e RefOut from the RMCA)

    \param[in] buffer  The address where the memory block begins.
    \param[in] byte_count  The number of bytes in the memory block.

    \return  The checksum, which is the last (interim) remainder plus any output
      processing.

    \note  Unaugmented-style CRC runs perform modulo-2 polynomial division in
      an altered order.  The trailing \a Bits number of zero-valued bits needed
      to extracted an (unprocessed) checksum is virtually moved to near the
      beginning of the message.  This is OK since the XOR operation is
      commutative and associative.  It also means that you can get a checksum
      anytime.  Since data is being read byte-wise, a table of pre-computed
      remainder changes (as XOR masks) can be used to speed computation.

/** Computes the polynomial remainder of a CRC run, assuming that \a buffer and

    The first byte is considered the highest order, going down for subsequent
    bytes.  Within a byte, the highest-order bit is read first (corresponding to
    \e RefIn = \c False in the RMCA).  Check the other parts of this function's
    documentation to see how a checksum can be gained and/or used.

    \tparam Bits  The order of the modulo-2 polynomial divisor.  (\e Width from

    \tparam TruncPoly  The lowest coefficients of the divisor polynomial.  The
      highest-order coefficient is omitted and always assumed to be 1.
      (\e Poly from the RMCA)

    \param[in] buffer  The address where the memory block begins.
    \param[in] byte_count  The number of bytes in the memory block.
    \param[in] initial_remainder  The initial state of the polynomial
      remainder, defaulting to zero if omitted.  If you are reading a memory
      block in multiple runs, put the return value of the previous run here.
      (Note that initial-remainders given by RMCA parameter lists, as
      \e Init, assume that the initial remainder is in its \b unaugmented state,
      so you would need to convert the value to make it suitable for this
      function.  I currently don't provide a conversion routine.)

    \return  The interim remainder, if no augmentation is used.  A special value
      if augmentation is used (see the notes).  No output processing is done on
      the value.  (In RMCA terms, \e RefOut is \c False and \e XorOut is \c 0.)

    \note  Augmented-style CRC runs use straight-up modulo-2 polynomial
      division.  Since data is being read byte-wise, a table of pre-computed
      remainder changes (as XOR masks) can be used to speed computation.
    \note  Reading just a memory block will yield an interim remainder, and not
      the final checksum.  To get that checksum, allocate \a Bits / \c CHAR_BIT
      bytes directly after the block and fill them with zero values, then extend
      \a byte_count to include those extra bytes.  A data block is corrupt if
      the return value doesn't equal your separately given checksum.
    \note  Another way to perform a check is use the zero-byte extension method,
      but replace the zero values with your separately-given checksum.  The
      checksum must be loaded in big-endian order.  Here corruption, in either
      the data block or the given checksum, is confirmed if the return value is
      not zero.
    \note  The two checksum techniques assume the CRC-run is performed bit-wise,
      while this function works byte-wise.  That means that the techniques can
      be used only if \c CHAR_BIT divides \a Bits evenly!
