As long as the algorithm is sufficiently described, the parameters can be part of the body. So instead of `<hash-type><hash-result>` it would be `<hash-type><hash-rounds><hash-result>`.


@hobofan Yeah, exactly. We've explored this by making the value of such hashes (when generated and checked with multihash libs) literally be the `<hash-rounds><hash-result>` pair. This avoids complicating the table or multihash model/implementations. We can just redefine the hash function verify to use the first bits as the round, etc. We haven't done this yet, but we may.
