That's a relief.  Throwing out anything that could potentially made to
interface to encryption would really prove painful.

Ok, not that the efficiency of Emacs Lisp would make this feasible,
but just for the record: does your question encompass just code
interfacing to cryptographic applications, or even cryptographic code
itself written in Emacs Lisp?  The question is purely academic, so
don't exert any time for research if the answer is not clear, anyway.
