/**
 *  Constant-time functions
 *
 *  For readability, the static inline definitions are here, and
 *  constant_time_internal.h has only the declarations.
 *
 *  This results in duplicate declarations of the form:
 *      static inline void f() { ... }
 *      static inline void f();
 *  when constant_time_internal.h is included. This appears to behave
 *  exactly as if the declaration-without-definition was not present.
