Stuff like xor'ing two bytestrings or generating a block of incremental IV's (for CTR mode)?
I don't particularly like the notion of XOR on a bytestring. The bytestring is not a number and it does not make much sense to bitwise xor such a string. I'd rather have a type specifically tailored for doing crypto-style computations and then use it. Such that the underlying implementation can be repa, bytestring, supermegavectorizationistic, or something completely different. -- J.
