// Package bmt is a simple nonconcurrent reference implementation for hashsize segment based
// Binary Merkle tree hash on arbitrary but fixed maximum chunksize
//
// This implementation does not take advantage of any paralellisms and uses
// far more memory than necessary, but it is easy to see that it is correct.
// It can be used for generating test cases for optimized implementations.
// There is extra check on reference hasher correctness in bmt_test.go
