Description
===========

`sha256-hex` accepts a string or bytes (a Buf or Blob) and returns a hex string.

`sha256` converts the hex into binary (i.e. it returns a Blob).

Examples
========
From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_message_authentication_code#Examples>:
```
use Digest::HMAC;
use Digest::SHA256::Native;

say hmac-hex("key","The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",&sha256);
