        FortunaPool

Fortuna pool type

This object acts like a hash object, with the following differences:

It keeps a count (the .length attribute) of the number of bytes that have been added to the pool

It supports a .reset() method for in-place reinitialization

The method to add bytes to the pool is .append(), not .update().
