 For now, please reference [example.go](https://github.com/rwinkhart/randalls-cryptographic-wrappers/blob/main/example.go).

+# IMPORTANT - READ FOR FreeBSD+Windows SUPPORT w/RCWD!
+There are replacements in the `go.mod` for this module. Make sure you maintain those
+same replacements in your importing module, otherwise FreeBSD and Windows support will break

+# runtime/secret.Do()?
+This module does not yet make use of the new `secret.Do()` function in Go 1.26.
+The new function is currently in an experimental state and does not function on
+non-Linux platforms, thus the current approach to zeroizing in-memory secrets is
+a manual one that will work everywhere. If `secret.Do()` becomes more complete in
+a future Go version, it will likely be adopted here (on top of the current manual
+approach).
