Description
Hi there,
Myself and @wiktor-k have been using rustcrypto for sometime, and I especially would like to see the facade crate developed further. A place holder exists here: https://crates.io/crates/rustcrypto
Currently rustcrypto has excellent libraries and primitives, but it can be hard to navigate all the traits and types since they currently span many crates. A solid facade that glues all the parts into one unified front end will help developers immensely, especially when upgrading and requiring cohesive types between parts of the rust crypto ecosystem.
I can not see a correlating source repo in this project. If one were created, I would be happy to begin work on this.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the placeholder rustcrypto crate linked in the issue and the existing RustCrypto traits repository. The issue provides no source files, tests, or defined facade scope, so the work would first require establishing the source repository and deciding which crates and cohesive types the facade should cover.
