Or you could make the digests in your test vectors have have a consistent byte
order, probably little endian. That's how "shash" algorithms in the crypto API
normally work, including crc32 and crc32c; they produce bytes as output. I see
that crct10dif violates that convention, and I assume you copied it from there.
I'm not sure you should do that; crct10dif might be more of a one-off quirk.
