+   * Updates to constant-time C code so that compilers are less likely to use
+     conditional instructions, which can have an observable difference in
+     timing. (Clang has been seen to do this.) Also introduce assembly
+     implementations for 32- and 64-bit Arm and for x86 and x86-64, which are
+     guaranteed not to use conditional instructions.
