[issue42942] Feature request: Add decdigest() to hashlib

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

Agreed, using a dict or set hash table lookup is more appropriate for such an algorithm.

Also agreed: comparing python integers (30-bit digit bignums internally) cannot be faster than comparing a binary bytes object.
