A {@code HashFormat} is able to format a {@link Hash} instance into a well-defined formatted string.
<p/>
Note that not all HashFormat algorithms are reversible. That is, they can't be parsed and reconstituted to the
original Hash instance. The traditional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypt_(Unix)">
Unix crypt(3)</a> is one such format.
<p/>
The formats that <em>are</em> reversible however will be represented as {@link ParsableHashFormat} instances.
