 HighwayHash is a fast and strong keyed hash function, documented at
 L<https://github.com/google/highwayhash>.
 
-Three functions are exported by this module, all by default:
+This module has a procedural interface (used to hash an entire
+message) and an OO interface (used to hash a message bit by bit). The
+procedural interface is made of three functions, all exported by
