Nice!  That's awesome.

My advice would be to go with BLAKE2b.  If anyone objects, we can deal
with their objection at that point (and I volunteer to help with
cleaning up any mess in rewriting test cases that this advice causes).

Full disclosure: my preference order (speaking for myself and no one
else) is

 K12 > BLAKE2bp-256 > SHA-256x16 > BLAKE2b > SHA-256 > SHA-512/256 > SHA3-256

so I'm not just asking you to go with my favorite. ;-)

Jonathan
