title: 'fletcher: Compute Fletcher Checksums (16, 32, and 64 Bit)'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Computes Fletcher's position-dependent checksum in 16-, 32-, and 64-bit
  widths. Fletcher's checksum, devised by John G. Fletcher, provides error-detection
  properties approaching a cyclic redundancy check at lower computational cost. Input
  is processed as little-endian words with the final partial word zero-padded, so
  results are reproducible across platforms.
