  A little Spectre bug: even if the length is zero, the first element might be
  read. A timing side-channel: the execution time does not only depend on the
  lengths, but also the characters of the strings -- therefore, unsuitable for
  passphrases and their hashes.

  The test may speculatively be incorrect, but the return value is always one
  of @var{correct} or @var{otherwise}. */

  Non-speculatively, copy as many bytes as the capacities allow,
  in order, contiguously, from @var{from + i1} to @var{to + i0},
