I can't get excited about that, but could put up with it as long as

... which this approach would create, because digest() isn't restricted
to just those algorithms. I think it'd be better to just invent two
new functions, which also avoids issues for applications that currently
expect the digest functions to be installed in pgcrypto's schema.
