Pure Rust implementation of the [MD4] cryptographic hash algorithm.

## Examples

```rust
use md4::{Md4, Digest};
use hex_literal::hex;

// create a Md4 hasher instance
let mut hasher = Md4::new();

// process input message
hasher.update(b"hello world");

// acquire hash digest in the form of Array,
// which in this case is equivalent to [u8; 16]
let hash = hasher.finalize();
assert_eq!(hash, hex!("aa010fbc1d14c795d86ef98c95479d17"));
```

See the [`digest`] crate docs for additional examples.
