//! Arithmetic on scalars.
//!
//! Both the Ristretto group and the Ed25519 basepoint have prime order
//! \\( \ell = 2\^{252} + 27742317777372353535851937790883648493 \\).
//!
//! The `Scalar` struct holds an integer \\(s < 2\^{255} \\) which
//! represents an element of \\(\mathbb Z / \ell\\).
//!
//! The code is intended to be useful with both the Ristretto group
//! (where everything is done modulo \\( \ell \\), and the X/Ed25519
//! setting, which mandates specific bit-twiddles that are not
//! well-defined modulo \\( \ell \\).
//!
//! To create a `Scalar` from a supposedly canonical encoding, use
//! `Scalar::from_canonical_bytes`.
//!
//! To create a `Scalar` by reducing a 256-bit integer mod \\( \ell \\),
//! use `Scalar::from_bytes_mod_order`.
//!
//! To create a `Scalar` with a specific bit-pattern (e.g., for
//! compatibility with X25519 "clamping"), use `Scalar::from_bits`.
//!
//! All arithmetic on `Scalars` is done modulo \\( \ell \\).
//! Arithmetic on scalars (integers mod the group order).
