feature set here will always be a ways behind the loom repo, but that this is an implementation
you can take to the bank, literally.

# Usage

Add the latest [silk package] (https://crates.io/crates/silk) to the `[dependencies]` section
of your Cargo.toml.

Create a *Historian* and send it *events* to generate an *event log*, where each log *entry*
is tagged with the historian's latest *hash*. Then ensure the order of events was not tampered
with by verifying each entry's hash can be generated from the hash in the previous entry:

```rust
use historian::Historian;
use log::{Event, verify_slice};

fn main() {
let hist = Historian::new(0);

hist.sender.send(Event::Tick).unwrap();
let entry0 = hist.receiver.recv().unwrap();

hist.sender.send(Event::UserDataKey(0xdeadbeef)).unwrap();
let entry1 = hist.receiver.recv().unwrap();

assert!(verify_slice(&[entry0, entry1], 0));
}
```
