Description

For security-conscious applications, it'd be nice to be able to add a set of hashes for each `src` that the library checks to make sure the binaries match.

Not sure if this would make more sense as a 4th and 5th arg `src(..., [hash], [hash-method])` or as an entirely new call tacked at the end with a map or array of hashes that correspond to each src.

Research direction

Start by reading the repository's implementation of the `src(...)` API and how binary sources are handled. Resolve whether checksums belong in the existing arguments or a separate call, then define how supported hash methods, multiple sources, and mismatches should behave. Done means the issue's chosen API verifies each binary against its configured checksum.
