Enzyme updates: easier work on Commit Digest

[Vladislav Blanton]

Hello Marta, hello team,

Wonderful work continuing the digest.

Since you ask, Marta, here is a post of ideas I had a while ago on how to
streamline/slim down the work, but didn't have any responses at the time:

I had a thought, perhaps revolutionary, that developers ought to select

We'll see if these catch any interest,

Good to see you all keeping the torch aflame,

Vlad
