That means the most standard headers to use are any of float.h, iso646.h,
limits.h, stdarg.h, stdbool.h, stddef.h, and stdint.h, so long Clean C is
also achieved. (I suspect that rules out stdbool.h.)
Adherence to this discipline rules out all means of dynamic memory
allocation other than by user-supplied callbacks. Since the PHS() prototype
doesn't have any such callbacks in it, this would preclude implementation
of any hash algorithm with configurable memory-hardness.
