rhg: in path_encode, use Vec directly instead of VecDest No need to have a trivial wrapper over the type. There's nothing confusing about vec.write_bytes(...), after all.

rhg: in path_encode, split Dest into VecDest and MeasureDest Two separate types make the write semantics easier to understand because we can consider the two sinks separately. Having two independent compiled functions for size measurement and for actual encoding seems likely to improve performance, too. (and maybe we should get rid of measurement altogether) Getting rid of [Dest] also removes the ugly option rewrapping code, which is good.

rhg: use generic DestArr in hash_mangle This simplifies code a bit more, but comes with an extra memory copy in case [destlen == dest_vec.len()]. This is probably fine, but a follow-up change is removing that too.

rhg: in path_encode, make DestArr generic over its size

rhg: in path_encode add a DestArr type This is an implementation of Sink trait that writes into a fixed-size buffer on the stack, so identical to what was done before, but it makes the code of [hash_encode] easier to understand by dropping all these slice manipulations.

rhg: reduce verbosity in path_encode by using a trait for writing Hopefully this makes the code easier to read and understand and shorter overall. It also lets us later tweak the type we use as a [Sink], without having to change the encoding functions, including using two different types for size measurement and for the actual serialization.

refactor: simplify code in rust version of path_encode Moving the addition of '/' separator to the end of the loop makes the rest of the logic much simpler because the first iteration is no longer special.
