Facade crate development

[Firstyear]

Hi there,

Myself and @wiktor-k have been using rustcrypto for sometime, and I especially would like to see the facade crate developed further. A place holder exists here: https://crates.io/crates/rustcrypto

Currently rustcrypto has excellent libraries and primitives, but it can be hard to navigate all the traits and types since they currently span many crates. A solid facade that glues all the parts into one unified front end will help developers immensely, especially when upgrading and requiring cohesive types between parts of the rust crypto ecosystem.

I can not see a correlating source repo in this project. If one were created, I would be happy to begin work on this.

Thanks!

This is the closest thing I ever wrote to such a crate: https://github.com/iqlusioninc/iqkms/tree/main/iq-crypto

Maybe we should use the crypto crate for this? I am not sure it's that useful in its current "trait facade" state.

We could move it into a separate repository and expand its scope.
