Synopsis
In some cases library user may want to parse hash (for validation purposes e.g.) and use it in the future for validating passwords.
Solution
rust-argon2crate already hasDecodedstructure which represents parsed hash anddecode_stringfunction which parses hash.I propose to make
Decodedstructure public, movedecode_stringfunction implementation to theFromStrtrait and add functions which can verify passwords byDecodedstructure.Also, I propose to rename
Decodedstructure to theDigest, because for external userDecodedname doesn't make sense. ButDigestname also can be confusing. Maybe there is a better name for it?
