As a replacement for the previous methods on
Reduce
which take bytes as input, this adds a new curve-specific method for reducing from bytes to a field element.Bytes is defined as an associated type rather than inferred from the unsigned integer parameter. This is because the integer size may not map exactly to the size of the input, especially for wide reductions.
Bytes are interpreted according to curve-specific rules.
