Description
The signature crate contains the following traits which are presently gated under the digest-preview feature:
DigestSignature- marker trait for signature algorithms based on a simple "prehash" structure. This is used in conjunction with custom derive support (#93)DigestSigner- signer which takes aDigestof a message to be signedDigestVerifier- verifier which takes aDigestof a message to be verified
The main blocker for stabilization is a 1.0 release of the digest crate, but also some lingering design questions.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the DigestSignature, DigestSigner, and DigestVerifier trait descriptions and the digest-preview feature in the signature crate, then check the linked digest crate and custom derive issue #93. Done means the digest dependency and remaining design questions are resolved well enough to stabilize these traits and remove their preview status.
