Orion compared to Rust Crypto

What is the main difference of Orion to rust crypto?
maybe add that to wiki?

from the dev

• RustCrypto has multi-crate based ecosystem, so they have a higher amount of smaller-sized crates in the dependency tree. This comes down to preference, if you want that or a more monolithic one as Orion.

• Orion's api is not trait-based as is the case with RustCrypto.

• RustCrypto (last time I looked which was some time ago) has more unsafe code in their ecosystem, but that depends now on how far const-generics have come in that project I presume.

• It seems to me the purpose of RustCrypto is providing implementations of primitives/constructions that are modern and exist, whereas with Orion we try to limit it as much as possible unless someone requests it with a specific usecase in mind.
