It should work, but it feels rather complex and more likely to pose a risk
of subtly breaking existing code.

Whereas if we adopt plan A, and all that we get wrong is that it's not a
very strong defence against hashing attacks, we are no worse off than
5.8.0

IIRC the paper had exploit code. I think it's time to play with that.
