/// Digest with SHA-256 demonstrator
///
/// Calculates the SHA-256 digest for each of the arguments.
///
/// For example:
///
///     dart digest-direct.dart "Hello world!"
///
/// Use a different SHA-256 calculator to check the results. Note: the "-n"
/// option to echo is important, otherwise the bytes being processed will
/// include an extra linefeed at the end and produce a different digest.
///
///     echo -n 'Hello world!' | shasum -a 256
///
/// Note: this example use Pointy Castle WITHOUT the registry.
