But with the code below I'm done after 2 checks in the regular chunk 
digest case:

`bytes.len() == 64 && bytes.iter().take(64).all(u8::is_ascii_hexdigit)`

which is the one which is most likely and should be optimized for?

What I tried to tell with the commit message is that the 
bytes.iter().take(64).all(u8::is_ascii_hexdigit) is now written out 
twice, but only one of the 2 case will ever be checked.

That was the intention here, to keep this close to the previous 
behavior. But since we do this check only in the less likely case, I 
agree that adding the check for exact extension might be the better 
option here.

Will adapt this accordingly, thanks!
