    """Check two strings/bytes for equality.
    This is functionally equivalent to ``left == right``,
    but attempts to take constant time relative to the size of the righthand input.

    The purpose of this function is to help prevent timing attacks
    during digest comparisons: the standard ``==`` operator aborts
    after the first mismatched character, causing it's runtime to be
    proportional to the longest prefix shared by the two inputs.
    If an attacker is able to predict and control one of the two
    inputs, repeated queries can be leveraged to reveal information about
    the content of the second argument. To minimize this risk, :func:`!consteq`
    is designed to take ``THETA(len(right))`` time, regardless
    of the contents of the two strings.
    It is recommended that the attacker-controlled input
    be passed in as the left-hand value.

        This function is *not* perfect. Various VM-dependant issues
        (e.g. the VM's integer object instantiation algorithm, internal unicode representation, etc),
        may still cause the function's run time to be affected by the inputs,
        though in a less predictable manner.

    """Provides routines for encoding/decoding base64 data using
    arbitrary character mappings, selectable endianness, etc.

    :arg charmap:
        A string of 64 unique characters,
        which will be used to encode successive 6-bit chunks of data.
        A character's position within the string should correspond
        to it's 6-bit value.

    :param big:
        Whether the encoding should be big-endian (default False).

    .. note::
        This class does not currently handle base64's padding characters
        in any way what so ever.

    Raw Bytes <-> Encoded Bytes
    ===========================
    The following methods convert between raw bytes,
    and strings encoded using the engine's specific base64 variant:

    .. automethod:: encode_bytes
    .. automethod:: decode_bytes
    .. automethod:: encode_transposed_bytes
    .. automethod:: decode_transposed_bytes

    ..
        .. automethod:: check_repair_unused
        .. automethod:: repair_unused

    Integers <-> Encoded Bytes
    ==========================
    The following methods allow encoding and decoding
    unsigned integers to and from the engine's specific base64 variant.
    Endianess is determined by the engine's ``big`` constructor keyword.

    .. automethod:: encode_int6
    .. automethod:: decode_int6

    .. automethod:: encode_int12
    .. automethod:: decode_int12

    .. automethod:: encode_int24
    .. automethod:: decode_int24

    .. automethod:: encode_int64
    .. automethod:: decode_int64

    Informational Attributes
    ========================
    .. attribute:: charmap

        unicode string containing list of characters used in encoding;
        position in string matches 6bit value of character.

    .. attribute:: bytemap

        bytes version of :attr:`charmap`

    .. attribute:: big

        boolean flag indicating this using big-endian encoding.
