I can't get excited about that, but could put up with it as long as
there wasn't scope creep ...

... which this approach would create, because digest() isn't restricted
to just those algorithms.  I think it'd be better to just invent two
new functions, which also avoids issues for applications that currently
expect the digest functions to be installed in pgcrypto's schema.
