Hi Michael,

thanks, this looks really nice and small. I'm doing my homework reading
crypto 101 and getting to know what do I actually need for proper
encryption. It would seem that I'll be fine with a symmetric-key algo
and I'll have to encrypt the secret key using a master password. I see
xchacha20 in monocypher but I have to yet read up if it is safe to use
with a single key, i.e. encrypting n passwords with the same secret key.
